WebPlus X2 Website Maker

Serif WebPlus X2 is the ultimate web design software, packed with everything you or your organisation needs to create outstanding, professional-quality websites - no complicated code, programming, or design experience required.
Whether a novice or a seasoned designer, a hobbyist or commercial manager, WebPlus X2 offers interactive forums and blogs, polished animated photo galleries, podcasts and cool YouTube videos, Flash animations, secure password-protected pages, easy e-commerce sites with partners including PayPal, and much more.

Serif WebPlus X2 is a great tool for small business owners who want to spend their time and money on their products and not on the designer of their website. WebPlus makes it easy to get a professional site up and live in just a few hours. In my tests, I had a functional (if small, only 5 pages) site up with ecommerce and a small photo gallery in about 2 hours.

WebPlus is a WYSIWYG editor with text editor functionality. This makes it easy to grab site elements, drag them to where you want them, and drop them in place. There are lots of image editing functions right inside the editor - so you don't need a separate image editor for many functions. I love the ecommerce wizards.
When I was testing the software I found a number of discrepancies between the software and the manual. For example, trying to figure out how to edit the HTML. The manual had some instructions that didn't seem to have any relation to the software itself. Instead, I clicked on an icon in the button bar (by accident as it happens) and was thrown into HTML editing mode. I also found changing images and content in a pre-built template to be very difficult. In one template I worked with, the image was placed into the template with a mask, but I couldn't find anywhere to edit that mask. I finally had to exit WebPlus, edit my image in a separate program, and then re-import it into the template.
