Xsitepro Website Samples
I ran across a post that featured some examples of xsitepro websites. Looks like some pretty interesting stuff and gives you a good idea what one can accomplish with Xsitepro.
Xsitepro may be one of the best programs available for creating websites. Within the first day a newbie can have a website up and running, conversely, an experienced website designer can create an advanced website with many different and advanced features.
Xsitepro is designed so that the pages are optimized for the search engines, therefore, search engine optimization is done without any effort by the web designer. You might say that the seo is performed behind the scenes.
Another great benefit of Xsitepro is that you can keep a site updated and new pages linked internally without any effort. Simply, write your page, upload and the links will show up on all the pages you tell it to.
I grabbed a selection of websites that were created with Xsitepro. Some of these were completed by newbies and they are first sites by first timers. Others are complex websites by master web designers. In either case you can see what can be done with the provided xsitepro templates and some custom xsitepro templates.

Custom Xsitepro Templates
October 10, 2008 by Scott
Filed under XsitePro Templates
One of the things I dislike most about Xsitepro is the look of the provided xsitepro website templates. One look at a website made with the provided or typical xsitepro template shouts out “Xsitepro”. There is a way to beat the standard xsite look, and that is with customized Xsitepro Templates.
Not that using xsitepro is bad, but in my opinion the look is rather amaturish and not very appealing. Again, don’t misunderstand me. If you are a newbie, or trying to get some information on the web for the first time, xsitepro is the easiest and best way to go. You can use one of the provided Xsitepro templates and add some content…then upload and in flash you have a website that can be easily edited and maintained.
However, if you run your business online, or have been a website desginer then you want the most professional looking xsitepro website template available. You simply want the best because your website is a reflection of your business.
The solution is to either hire someone or create your own custom xsitepro templates. I can create an xsitepro template that is next to impossible for anyone to tell that the site made from xsitepro. I’ve seen other 3rd party templates that were available that were pretty good, usually much better than the ones provided with the xsitepro program. Although, if one were to properly use all the features of Xsitepro version 2, you can use the provided templates and crank out some awesome looking sites.
I did a project for a client and then altered it a little, made a quick header and then uploaded it….see if you can tell if this was created using a customized Xsitepro template!
Xsitepro Templates and Website Design

Filed under XsitePro Templates, Xsitepro Tutorials
Xsitepro version 1 and version 2 both work with templates to help you build a website.
The program comes with many templates, however, sooner or latter everyone wants to learn how to make templates for xsitepro. We run into a little bit of a snag since Xsitepro 2.0 has more panels which make up the template. This makes some Xsitepro 2.0 templates incompatible with Xsitepro version 1.0.
There is a nice Xsitepro tutorial in the help section of your xsitepro program and you can see the xsitepro tutorial here….just click on the link.
Let me go through the process of creating a xsitepro template.
- First imagine a legal pad of paper….and imagine that legal pad is your webpage.
- Now take the legal page and draw out your webpage.
- Header across the top
- Navigation panel on the left side
- Navigation panel on the right side
- Body Section in between the 2 Navigation panels
- Footer Across the Bottom
Ok…you have to use a graphics editor like photoshop to create the website you just designed on the legal pad. NVU is a free version of photoshop and will work just as well or you can use any graphics editor that will allow you to slice the image for use in a website.
After you create an image of the website with your graphics editor, you will slice the image into boxes or panels that will be used in the numbered steps above (version 2 allows for more slices or panels)
Let me backtrack a second. The whole purpose of designing your own template is to have something that looks good and doesn’t look like an out of the box Xsitepro template. So….when designing your webpage in your graphics editor keep in mind the fact that you will be slicing into component parts. Know what those parts are and where they are located. It doesn’t matter if its in Xsitepro 1 or Xsitepro 2.
The awesome difference in Xsitepro 2 is that you have additional panels or boxes to work with. This will allow you more freedom in your design and help eliminate the traditional xsitepro template look.
Finally, save the images and make sure you optimize them first so they load fast.

XsitePro Version 2 Templates

XsitePro Version 2 Templates
XsitePro Version 2.0 is a new version of Xsitepro and is one of the easiest programs to use if you are interested in getting a presence on the world wide web. The best part is that it uses premade xsitepro templates for creating any type of website. Xsitepro comes with some prepackaged templates, but these templates have what I call the xsitepro template look….they almost look cheesey!
“The Xsitepro Template Look” is usually characterized by a square website page. The top of the page is composed of a table that is the basis of the header, it can be filled with an image or typically it just has a background color and you can type a page or website description in it, and then you will see a navigational column which is basically just a table with a contrasting colored background and is positioned on the left or right side of the page, to recap, the xsitepro webpage template is composed of tables with colored backgrounds which in turn gives the xsitepro template a very square edged and boxy look, square box across the top, square box on the sides, square box on the bottom and square box in the middle Then there is a section where the body is displayed with is another table with a white back ground. Some of the xsitepro templates have a 3 column format which really makes the template stick out as the typical boxy and square edged standard xsitepro temlate. And to finish the template design off, there is a table across the bottom of the page that is has a colored background and you can add various link components and text for footer content. Xsitepro has features most other website editors don’t, when finishing off the header you can add various linking componets to attain the search engine optimzation.
If you’ve gotten this far I have some good news for you, there are some designers that create some awesome looking templates for xsitepro…and I’m one of them! Even though many of the templates available today for xsitepro are of some variation of the format I discussed above, some with images in the headers and various shapes for the navigation tables….try as they might, it’s really difficult todisquise the standard xsitepro template look. Now you’re wondering….if I use Xsitepro am I stuck with this design flaw?
You can pay a website designer who specializes in Xsitepro templates to custom design a template that will look like any other website or better. It is an expensive undertaking because the designer first has to design the look of the website in a program like photoshop and then “slice” the website image and convert it into a Xsitepro Template file so you can the import it into your Xsitepro program.
I’ve seen people pay $25 or $50 for a custom xsitepro template….but it looks like crap. Expect to pay anywhere between $200 and $500 or even more for a great looking xsitepro cutom template! Yes, I know it’s expensive, but a good designer…someone who is good with photoshop and xsitepro can create a template for xsitepro that looks just like any other template or even better and bottom line, no one will be the wiser, they won’t be able to tell that you are using XsitePro Version 2.0!
How would you like to get your hands and 2 of these customized Xsitepro Templates each and every month without paying those outrageous prices? If you become a member of Niche Health Products you will get 2 awesome looking templates that you would never expect to be used with Xsitepro. This is a Private Label Rights membership and you get a ton of material along with the templates. In fact you get 2 complete minisites that are built with these templates, each minisite comes in 4 different versions!
This is where it gets exciting…not only do you get the plr materials you also get the .psd or photoshop master files for the templates…you can make your own templates from these files. The .psd files are the key to creating new templates for the experienced Xsitepro and photoshop user, you’d be amazed at what you come up with when using these files. The only way to comprehend what I’ve been talking about is to take a look at FREE XsitePro Templates and actually see a much more elaborate survey and see some real live websites built with Xsitepro templates used for Niche Health Products.
Review of Niche Health Products for June

Review of Niche Health Products for June
The above link is to a post for a very cool site featuring XsitePro templates that are niche specific for the health and wellness field and its a very affordable membership site giving you 2 complete products a month.
PLR articles can help you make a lot of money if you are using good articles and approaching the process from the right angle.
Private Lable Rights licenses come in all shapes and sizes. Some PLR have an anything goes license,
basically this type of license is the same as public domain works. However, you’ll find other Private Label Rights to vary with the type of book, maybe article and even software. Such as:
giving rights to sell to others
selling a site once it’s completed…known as site flipping
most plr licenses will allow you to put your name on it if you alter the original in a signifcant way
claiming authorship
no license to sell to others
…..and on and on
I belong to a handful of PLR memberships and to be honest, I will space off and forget that I need to download the current months articles and other materials. That is all of them except for one. That would be Niche Health Products by Kim Standerline which provides articles, ebooks and 2 highly customizable monthly websites complete with custom graphics and templates yep, you get a 2 subjects each month with minisites, otherwise known as adsense sites, articles, ebooks, website templates and graphics.
One of the greatest benefits of Kim Standerline’s Niche Health Products is that you are drilling down deeper into a very wide niche, the wide niche being Health and each month the two subjects will be one aspect of illness or the health industry.
Two years ago I joined Niche Health Products PLR Membership and must say the articles have been outstanding. In fact I was so impressed that I asked if I could join the team and participate in some way.
I’ve been creating the monthly minisites with custom one off looking websites. I really enjoy doing my work for Niche Health Products and I don’t want to brag, but the graphics are high quality and the xsitepro website templates are off the charts…..I guarantee you’ll never see anything like them….I spend more time than usual trying to create something that is new and cutting edge.
So I create 2 website templates that correspond to the subjects for that month. I also create a simple square header and footer for each subject in case someone might be looking just for a header graphic. Also, I make 2 ebook covers each for the subjects presented in Niche Health Products, I provide the flat .psd image so, if you have the photoshop actions you can edit these covers to your hearts content. Along with the ebook, I create a flat image for both themes.
All the book and flat images are sized from 500 pixels wide down to 150 pixels wide.
When I create the xsitepro website templates, I provide both the .psd and .jpg images. You can then slice them for use in any program for creating websites. The psd files are very valuable, almost like public domain images..
As mentioned you get 2 seperate versions of each website template, the psd and jpg files, the jpg file is optimized for best appearance and quick loading. You will get 2 seperate versions of Xsitepro websites ready to load up to your website….plus you also get 2 additional versions of a standard html type website, in othe words, non-XsitePro website..
I know, you’re probably confused…what’s up with 2 Xsitepro versions. The first version is the simplest, it has pages with the .htm extension and all you need to do is import it into Xsitepro and upload to your site. Every webpage is made with the basic xsitepro website template and includes 3 google adsense ads with one plr article…every now and then I will include a big selling clickbank ebook. It’s designed for the novice and is easy for just about anyone to edit and upload.
The second edition of Xsitepro website is a variation that includes some dynamic content. Basically this Xsitepro website has everything the first version has, however, it includes something very important and that is the rotating snippets of text and current news from rss feeds, which include affiliate links and it will display a rss feed at the bottom of the page with content that is specific to the content of the website. It’s next to impossible to have duplicate content with these sites even if you don’t change a thing….(as always, anytime you work with plr material it is to your advantage to do some editing to the original text). The other unique thing about these sites is that they will have the .php extension
Since everyone doesn’t have Xsitepro I also create 2 versions in a standard html format that can be edited in any html editor….such as, Dreamweaver, NVU and other wysiwyg website editiors.
The third version has pages with the extension of .htm and it has everything that the second XsitePro version has….the major difference is that the pages are controlled by a .htacess file (that may be greek to you…thus the reason for version #4). The .htaccess file has coding in it to allow the pages to display php includes….thus the rotating content snippets. You typically don’t have to touch this file, any problems….just drop me an email.
Sometimes your hosting provider has a hard time using the .htaccess file so the pages have to end in .php…..this is the 4th version. Version number 4 is the exact same version as number 3 with the exception of the htaccess file and if you don’t mind having .php pages, it’s the simplest version to use….You will not see any difference in the last two versions except the .php ending. I might add that the .php pages usually will not show up in the typical wysiwyg webpage editors.
Let’s recap, joining Niche Health Products gets you 20 Private Label Rights articles for each of the 2 subjects of the month…so 40 plr articles. You will receive two adsense sites, containing 10 more plr articles and you will receive two sets of newly created website templates and a set of standard website header graphics…plus you get a ebook cover for the one substantial book you recieve each month.
As you can see, this article includes some samples of all the graphics for this month….this way you’ll get a better idea what’s included….and of course you can edit everything because I’ve included all the psd files and the basic header graphics come in a blank format allowing you to add text with any editior. The ebooks are a little tricker and you need photoshop, however, I’ll gladly edit anything for a minor charge.
This month the subjects are on Diabetes and Repite Care. The Xsitepro templates can be seen in this article, if you click on the image you’ll be taken to the actual webiste to see what it looks like.
If you are a user of good PLR material, you really shouldn’t miss the Monthly PLR membership….Niche Health Products by Kim Standerline….2 years and going strong
