You Can Make Your Own Free XsitePro Templates
Learn how to create your own Xsitepro Templates by watching this video tutorial showing you step by step the methods and concept behind slicing up a website template and creating a Xsitepro Template!
Since XsitePro is one of the easiest site builders available on the market, there has always been the problem of the XsitePro “footprint”. This is because most xsitepro templates and websites pretty much look the same, and this is made worse by people who use the templates that come free with the program and do not change them at all.
This is always a mistake, and only a newcomer to the world of internet marketing would use the same template that thousands of other people have.
It is fairly easy to build your own site with the new Xsite Pro, using paid or free software that is available to all or software.
Plus the sense of satisfaction at looking at a web site that you have created is second to none in the world! Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and you don’t want a web site that nobody ever sees, either. You want to remember that many people who can make up great websites on their own do not because they prefer to work on things that they feel confident or expert in, like article writing or keyword research, and leave the graphics part of it to people who are experts in that field.
Of course, there are lots of free XsitePro templates out there, but usually, they are not all that attractive, and have the maker’s link permanently embedded into the site. To create a nice site does not take all that long, you just need a few guidelines. Look around at other sites and see what it is you like, and then you can use them as a basis for your own site.
We need a template to start out our new site, and usually people use Photoshop to make slices to be used in XsitePro. There are many tutorials on how to use Photoshop, just Google it
After you are happy with your header, go to the side panels, making sure that they match nicely in color with the header colors.
Now, you have to make sure that everything fits together nicely, so make sure your slices are as follows: Header should be 160 by 700 pixels; the footer should be 60 by 130. The Panels, both right and left, should be 65 by 500, and the Main Body 65 by 500.
Of course, these are just basics, and you can do many other things with different sizes and with the XsitePro Preview, it is easy to see what they look like before you publish on the web.
Importing your new site into XsitePro is a snap. Create you project, then new website; click the page layout, and then start importing your new information. The page layout is the key to this; make sure you watch all the videos at Xsitepro main site.
Another thing that people do is take an existing template and “fiddle” around with it, making a new and unique template up that way.

You probably already know that the pet niche is really hot!
One subniche of the pet niche is “dogs”, google says the average search volume for that keyword is over 37 million a month!
With some diligent keyword research you can come up with some great money making terms. Also, there are plenty of products, both physical and electronic, that are affiliate products you can promote.
Since I’m such a nice guy, I created a custom Xsitepro template with a Dog theme, that is generic, you can use it to post articles, a sales page, affiliate products or just about any type of content to the web. And…….you can have this Custom Xsitepro Template for FREE!
Proper website templates are hard to find….especially xsitepro templates. The templates provided with xsitepro aren’t niche specific, now you can have a custom dog niche xsitepro template free of charge. Just go over to Dog Niche Xsitepro Template, fill in the optin for for even more goodies and you can start your own dog niche website in a couple of minutes! And it didn’t cost you one penny
I ask you one favor though.
As you probably know, there have been some terrible wild fires down in Australia this year. Many people died. A lot of property was destroyed and so many lives have been in a state of upheaval. I actually created this Dog Niche Theme so I could build a website from some dog plr articles that were part of Dr. Audrey Harvey’s Dog PLR Warrior Special Offer which consisted of a Private Label Rights PLR package consisting of Dog PLR Articles, Dog PLR small reports and Dog PLR ebooks. Her package was put together so that all the proceeds would go to the fire victims in Australia. I created the Dog Niche Website for free and asked her if she would include it in her package…… Just my way of trying to help the folks down under.
Take a look at the Dog Niche Website, you’ll get the Xsitepro Version and the Standard HTML Version.
You can get the complete Dog Niche Website free of charge if you purchase her Dog PLR package. Please take a look at it and consider giving, the money is needed for these folks….put yourself in their situation. A helping hand is always a welcoming site.
Custom Xsitepro Template….well, almost!

The below question and confusion regarding xsitepro and templates comes up often. Since Xsitepro uses a system unlike any other to build websites, having your custom website template designed correctly and put in the right format is of paramount importance. This is a conversation I had with an Xsitepro user looking to use his custom website image in Xsitepro
I am not the best at designing a sales site, so I hired a person who did a great job for me.
He has sent me the all the files in jpeg and html…
I have read here on the forum as well as looked in the guided and I do not see how
to import these files…Do I do them one at a time and redesign the site with XSite or is there another way
to import the entire contents all at once…I would appreciate any suggestions…
*************************
Then somone tried to explain how xsitepro uses templates and why you just can’t use an image or regular html.

Hi Brian:
The information you are seeking is in the big manual Part U Page 266.
I haven’t tried it yet, but as far as I can see, XSite Pro cannot import a full site prepped in another program, like dreamweaver. It can’t interpret the functions and paramaters used by the other program to understand what is required. It can do so if it is an XSite Pro product because it understands the formatting used.
Like me, unilingual English trying to read the manual in French or Italian.
I think you have to do some work. It is one of the larger sections in the manual.
You will undoubtedly receive better information from more expert persons than I, as they scan the forum.
Good Luck

Below is my suggestion to help Brian with is dilemma regarding converting an custom designed photoshop image into a custom xsitepro template.
Hi Brian
When creating a website with xsitepro most users will use one of the templates that are provided with the xsitepro program and use it to build their website with.
Others will purchase a xsitepro template and import it into their xsitepro program as their template for their new website.
Still others, like you, will have a custom template designed. Typically a template is created in photoshop or GIMP which are image editors. Next the image is “sliced” into pieces that then…..can be used in Xsitepro to build a template. This file is called an .xse file.
So…at this point you are half way finished. The guy who designed and built your website template finished the image part of the process….next it has to be “sliced” into sections and imported corrected into Xsitepro so that you will have an .xse file.
If you’re not following me, first you can’t use the files you have with Xsitepro.
Second …..the files you have need to be manipulated so that they can be used in xsitepro.
If you have photoshop of GIMP you can slice the images you have yourself….I have a series of videos that shows you how to do …see Make Your Own Templates
If you rather have someone do it, I can do what is needed, send me a PM, otherwise there are other people on the forum that might be able to help you.
Good Luck
Scott
