If you learn how to slice your own images you will save dramatically on the cost of having XSitePro templates made. So you can outsource the deign element yet still control the website installation.

Many XSitePro web marketers use the built in XSitePro templates within the XSitePro program and never explore beyond. This causes many websites built with XSitepro to look similar.

Critics of XSitePro even refer to the standard look as the "XSitePro look". They are usually describing the standard verdana font and square panel look. Many Xsitepro template suppliers still produce very plain boxy looking templates with basic graphics.

When using XSitePro as a web deign tool you have a large degree of flexibility when setting out the panels and colors. If you pick a blank template you can set the top, left, main, right, footer and main panel footer panels to whatever sizes and colors you require.

You can choose to ignore the left or right panels if you desire by setting the panel width to zero. This will have the effect of a sales page style layout.

If you desire not to have a top or bottom panel you set the panel height to zero.

One of the key elements to designing XSitePro templates is you can import images from many different formats and place them inside your XSitePro website.

Web design software you can use with XSitePro is not limited to just the usual photoshop suite of products.

Tools like SnagIt by Techsmith, Logo creator by Laughingbird, Paintshop by Microsoft or GIMP (the open source graphics program) will allow you to create small "snippet" slices you can import into XSitePro.

XSitePro has the ability to make a small "snippet" look very large by "repeating" the pattern over again. By importing small .jpg .gif or .png files you can keep graphic sizes small for fast loading and SEO benefit. You also get a completely different look than a solid color throughout the panel.

In terms of design software, XSitePro is far more powerful than it first seems once you start importing custom images. If you hire a graphic artist you can have very professional detailed images and page designs made up in a photoshop format.

Once you have the image in photoshop simply export the images to image ready and slice the image into panels. When you have the panels sliced you import them into XSitePro remembering to set the panel widths the same as the panels.

Try adding a video or thumbnail video to your page and you will have a super XSitePro template which will stand out from the dull manufactured looking ones.

These are just a few examples of how to make your site look less "XSitePro"!

So when you are taking a review of XSitePro website design capability, keep an open mind to the possibilities and don't be restricted to the built-in templates.
