4.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets for technonopes, 27 Nov 2008
By ric03 (Rossendale, England.) - See all my reviews
  
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Let's face facts: HTML and CSS is beyond a lot of people without professional instruction. I've tried and failed several times and found it incredibly frustrating to learn. I have built a couple of sites on Dreamweaver but stayed well clear of the coding side of things (opting rather to fumble my (more credible) photoshop efforts at menu buttons and what have around you until they vaguely resembled something cool -- only to discover that on a friends browser it had managed to mangle itself up again and look nothing like I intended it too. I'd given up (until now) as Wordpress makes website design easy enough without all the hassle. Then along came this.

I have to admit, I've been surprised and impressed by Webplus X2. I've had a good play and after so much DW agony, it feels a little like I'm cheating with this! It's very versatile; I was expecting something very wizard orientated rather than a proper web 'design' application. It is actually possible to build a proper site using this software and building it is so much easier. Everything seems designed the way you'd expect a web-design program to be (unless you've been instructed, DW is completely baffling to begin with). The package comes with some PDF tutorials and is easy to learn and seems to go a long way (RSS and Paypal).

The bottom line is that this isn't going to build you a professional site, but if you're going to do it yourself and don't know HTML, this is an absolute godsend. You can do almost any sort of personal or small business site with this relatively painlessly (considering the alternatives!).

One last thing. By way or warning, to register this software you have to make a (free) phone call which is just so they can try and sell you an extra £40 worth of resources! (which came down to £20 when I refused!) You have to do this or face having the please register this software box popping up ad infinitum. It isn't much, but is slightly annoying and does cheapen an otherwise professional product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Websites untangled - great software for non HTML experts, 10 Aug 2008
By Mr. R. D. Blackman (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This software is just I what I was looking for. I've been struggling with html and css for months. Positioning elements properly took ages to work out but when I looked in another browser my carefully worked out design was all jumbled up. I never got the results I wanted.

Serif WebPlus X2 is very simple to use. You can use the templates to create a professional looking site in a few hours and if you have some experience of html then you can insert specific instructions into your pages very easily. What I like most about WebPlus X2 is that it's wysiwyg. Previously, I'd take an educated guess at what mark up I'd need for a given result and then have to view it in another programme. Anally retentive programmers probably learn reams of code off by heart to circumvent this but, me, I've got better things to do. With WebPlus X2 you can see what you're doing while you're doing it. You can also view your work in different browsers if you really want to check.

WebPlus X2 seems to be designed with people like me in mind. We know what we want to achieve but don't have the budget to employ an html/css coder or the time to bring our expertise up to their level. In addition to vastly reducing the time and expense that it would take to accomplish the same result by any other means, WebPlus X2 gives you the benefit of many presentational tricks that would take years of programming experience to achieve. My re-vamped site has already drawn favourable comments about its better navigation, layout and graphical design, all achieved in a fraction of the time thanks to WebPlus X2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the pop-web culture, 3 Jan 2009
By Mark R. Bannister (London, England) - See all my reviews
  
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
If you need to create websites that are as eye-catching as the cover of your favourite pop album, then look no further and buy WebPlus X2! It really does what it says on the packet, it provides a fully-functional and easy-to-use interface and the websites you create with X2 will look professional. While it integrates many of the features that will be familiar to users of other Serif software, those who are not familiar with the way Serif layout and organise their tools may be a little lost and will want to spend many hours playing with the tutorials. The tutorials themselves are generally very helpful, although at times I must admit it took me a while to figure out which icon or button or toolbar they were referring to (more screenshots would be useful). Avoid this product if you are impatient and want to create a website with 3 clicks.

WebPlus X2 creates a class of website that I would term "pop-web". It's a look that is classy and is more than adequate for many needs, but which cries out "production line". While you can mark your websites with your own individuality of course, by selecting graphics and deciding upon layout, one restriction - the width of the web page - is fixed. If you can't fit your design into 800 pixels wide, then you need to look at buying a different product. However, on the flip side, if you want your website to have this look, then there is no better product on the market and you should get out your wallet now because you have found an excellent bargain! This is leagues apart from infant products such as WebSite X5 Evolution.

WebPlus allows you to import existing websites, and while this is generally quite good, be aware that no import can be perfect. For example, X2 has trouble getting table formatting correct, doesn't seem to know what to do with frames, doesn't import anchors and ignores pre-format tags. However, this product has such an array of useful and creative tools for formatting text and graphics, and optimising download speeds, that you probably don't want to import websites that were created by another product, as they will not take advantage of these features.

In conclusion, an excellent product for creating a particular type of website, as long as you are willing to invest the time to learn how to use the tools properly. Superb value for money. The other products in the Serif range are also well worth investigating.
