• If you are a business owner, stay away

  Pros

  Fairly easy to use with a descent amount of templates. The site I created looked clean and I received more people attention due to this fact.

  Cons

  There are only two real complaints: 1. The navigation or menu bar on occasion tended to mix up the page links. This only occurred on sub-menu applications. 2. Customers would find themselves being automatically forwarded to Xara's website.r.

  Summary

  If you are a business owner and don't want your customers complaining about being exited off your site only to end up on Xara's webpage, then this software isn't for you. Realistically, I really liked the way the site came together with ease of use. Any other company would have some permanent insignia on the site that a potential customer can link to at their own will. This was a big turn off and threw me into the world of Joomla.

• A Web development tool for users for the rest of us.

  Pros

  Easy to learn, easy to use. Make Dreamweaver look like a torture device.

  Cons

  Not for geek coders. Lets be clear if your writing e-commerce sites this is not the tool for you, but for the other 90% of humanity this is it.

  Summary

  What's not to like. Clean user interface. A graphical environment the way the web was meant to be. On a scale from 1-10 we are at a 9. Why not 10? add some features for website background graphics, search a site and you have a 10.

• Not very intuitive, some features hard to use

  Pros

  Nice templates Can produce a very basic decent-looking web page fairly easily Can preview different colors and text on an object by just mousing over drop-down list

  Cons

  Can't add form objects (text boxes, dropdowns, etc.) ; this means you have to add these by hand after the page is created, which is not practical for someone who does not know HTML Working withh layers difficult Changing colors not that easy

  Summary

  If you just want to produce a very basic page with no functionality execpt for links, this is OK. But having to add all form objects by hand negates the usefulness. OK if you stick with their color schemes on buttons, etc., but changing them is a pain. Wish I would have bought something else.
