XSitePro version 2 launched on 21 May 2008 and I immediately rushed to upgrade my copy of XSitePro from Version 1 to Version 2.

The good news is XSitePro version 2 is now available to the public!

Developed by Paul Smithson and the team at Intellimon Ltd, XSitePro2 has been a long anticipated release.

The question that remains to be answered is, "Is XSitePro2 The Ultimate Website Builder Software?"

And my answer would be an absolute "YES!", especially for internet marketers.

Having trained over 3,000 students over the past 3 1/2 years, it is clear to me that one of the greatest technical challenge faced by many new internet marketers is that of building a multi-page website that not only looks good, but is also search engine friendly.

Before XSitePro came along, the most common way of creating a multi-page website was to:

1) Purchase a template from a site like Template Monster or DreamTemplate 
2) Use a professional HTML editor like Dreamweaver or a free HTML editor like NVU to edit the template.
3) Upload your web template to your web host using a free FTP software like FileZilla

The major problem with the above method was that even editing a web template was not an easy task – because most of the templates available for purchase required you to modify the "source" graphics using a graphics editor like Adobe Photoshop. And this meant if did not own Photoshop or didn't know how to use Photoshop, the probablity of you creating a multi-page website would be close to zero!

Then came along a new generation of "online website builders" like WebsiteWizard where you pay a monthly fee to create and maintain your website. While these solutions make it far quicker and easier to get your website online, there is a monthly fee you will incur. Nonetheless, online website builders are great for internet entrepreneurs with a single web business because they don't have to deal with the technicalities of web hosting setup, FTP etc.

XSitePro Version 2 is really a cross-breed of the wesite template and online website builder – and represents the best of both worlds!

And here's why…

Firstly, XSitePro2 is a software you purchase only once, so there's no monthly fee involved.

But what makes XSitePro2 stand out from its competitors is the fact that you can create a fully-functioning interactive, and search-engine friendly website WITHOUT needing to know HTML at all! Its "point-and-click" ease of use is amazing - if you know how to use a word processor like Microsoft Word, you'll be fine with XSitePro2!

Another strong feature of XSitePro2 is its beatiful set of 200 web templates that cover a wide range of web businesses. This is a marked improvement over XSitePro version 1.

What's really cool in version 2 is it's auto-posting feature, where XSitePro2 will publish articles to your website on a time release basis – just like an autoresponder. You just need to tell XSitePro where your files on your hard-drive are, set a posting schedule and let XSitePro do the rest!

And probably the most valuable feature in XSitePro2 is its content syndication capabilities. XSitePro2 boasts, "1000 sources to start you off (and you can learn about millions more at our support forum). In finance, for example, choose from The Financial Times, BBC News, MSNBC, ABC, The New York Times, or hundreds more."

The full feature list for XSitePro2 is really too numerous to list in detail, and here are some of my favorite XSitePro2 features:
