Home > Building Your First Site Build Your First Web Site with XSitePro
What do you think of this XSitePro web site. Would you believe me if I told you that it took me about 4 hours to create this web site from start to finish and by that I mean everything. The longest part was writing the content, the actual web page and site creation took no time at all. In fact the XSitePro tutorial claims that you can create and publish your first XSitePro web site on the internet in less than 2 hours (see below).
So, let me run you through what is involved in creating a web site with this XSitePro software using the XSitePro tutorial.
After you buy and download XSitePro software, the very first thing you should do is print out the XSitePro tutorial. Do not open the software and start playing around with it. You need to follow the easy, simple and straightforward instructions in order to build your first web site. The tutorial builds an example web site based around optical aids. What you need to do is to substitute your own topic, whatever it may be, in place of optical aids.
So, first print out the 100 page XSitePro tutorial, place it beside your keyboard, then just turn the pages and follow the instructions. By the time you reach the end, you will have created a totally professional web site and published it on the internet. I would also recommend that you print out the full manual, about 400 pages. I know that this sounds excessive and that you can access the help file and manual on your screen at any time, but I find there is no substitute for having the manual beside you and work through scenarios rather than changing or minimizing screens. Have it bound and keep it as a reference manual.
