| Hi folks. I may need to try and set up a website soon, but haven't got a clue where to start. I'll read through some of the threads later to get a better handle on things. In the meantime, is the above product any good as a first start? What are it's limitations or drawbacks? Cheers.

Hey, Just bought Webplus X2 actually! 
Afraid i havent gotten around to using it in anger yet, but it seems to have retained some of the "Desktop Publisher" feel i remember from Webplus 8 i used to use, which was amazingly simple to build a good WYSIWYG sort of site without any need to know or understand what HTML even stands for!
X2 looks to have a lot more features though which you just add in from the tool bar photogalleries, framed pages, e-shopping stuff.
As it was being paid for by a company who's website im about to start on I went for the Business templates which adds a lot more variety to the template choices, but im not sure its worth the money as i'll probably be deleteing half of it anyway in favour of some original layout & design!
For the money I think its a sound investment (esp. as it wasnt my money) compared to the nightmare i remember as Frontpage or the cost of Dreamweaver! 
That said this is just my impression from a half hours flick through of the options, not employed it in anger so far!
Hope that helps!
Dave

| Thanks very much for the info Dave, very useful. I got an email from Serif (I get stuff from them occasionally) offering it around the £35 mark and I thought it might be worth giving it a whirl. Won't hurt at that price... Cheers, Steve.

| Yeah, that was my line of thinking, it should be good value for money! £35 is a bargain though, think i paid £55ish direct from Serif downloads.
