Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I couldn't get on at all with this very much. Templates are presented as thumbnails and it became a laborious task clicking on a design only upon realising it was not suitable then having to come out and go back in to access another dull looking newsletter.
The clip art wasn't great either and toying around with it it wasn't easy designing yourself, far easier to use one of the existing not very interesting designs on show.
I left it for a while and came back to it recently; I just didn't get much from it on either occasion unfortunately.

A surprisingly powerful and flexible desk-top publishing starter package for home or small-business use
29 Jun 2010
Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I've used Serif products for 20 years and always found them to be powerful, reliable and backed up by Serif's knowledgeable and helpful UK-based technical support team.
PagePlus Essentials is a scaled-down version of the superb PagePlus X4 (PC CD) program which is the best DTP package I've ever used (see my review) and is aimed primarily at the home, small-business or hobbyist group market, including both beginners to DTP and those with a little experience. It is a highly-intuitive package with powerful layout tools but it's also quick and easy to learn so that documents can be produced quickly with little or no previous desk-top publishing experience.
A broad variety of templates are included for home and business stationery, greetings cards, business cards, newsletters, calendars etc and all are fully-customisable. Photos can be replaced using drag and drop then edited using the simple editing tools including. Text can be added or replaced, fonts changes (a wide selection are included) and an almost infinite range of background fill colours, tints and textures are just a click of a mouse away. Simply drag and drop items to exactly where you'd like them to appear so that you have full control of your finished document which can then be exported as a PDF file for printing, sharing or emailing. The only limit is your own personal creativity and, if you're not particularly artistically inclined then the included templates will provide a good starting point.
Essentials is a less-powerful and less-comprehensive package which is aimed more towards the home-user wishing to produce cards (business and greetings), labels, forms, calendars, stationery for a home or small business or a small organisation wishing to produce its own stationery and newsletters. Essentials offers most of X4's main features with the exception of being able to import PDF documents for editing and outputting press-ready commercial PDF output including Pantone colour matching. For a typical home or hobby-group user, these features simply won't be needed. Also, it won't produce websites so if you're looking for DTP which can also produce a co-ordinated website then you'll need the highly-powerful X4 version.
A good purchase for anyone wanting to get started in desk-top publishing.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
An easy to use piece of software, giving you the ability to create a multitude of items - cards, letters, posters, newsletters etc . . . Just about anything your wee desk-top publishing heart desires(!)
If you're churning out church news, or are in charge of groups - weightloss, hobbies, birthdays etc - this is for you. A breeze to use, and highly adaptable to meet your own personal needs. Even if you run your own (small) business you'll find something here for you. Professional templates to entice customers to use your services. no great expert IT knowledge is required, and within a few minutes you'll be engrossed in producing exactly what you want.
There are tutorials and video presentations and guides to help you along. The choices are almost limitless, and I would go so far as to suggest that this is ideal if you do not want to spend a fortune on a more in-depth piece of software.
