The Verdict: Great for just having to quickly make a website, WebSite X5 v7 isn’t all that powerful. The sample website I have created is at my website. You can choose from various templates and colors, and as such I chose Abstract 3D in blue for my review. Just a note- in order to get text to look nice on the header, apply a drop shadow with the X offset of 1 and Y offset of 0 and the same color of the text.
You can customize the toolbars and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Export to FTP failed for my server because it didn’t make the non-existant folder. It said it “couldn’t read” it. I had to open another FTP program to make it.
It takes the pictures and puts them into subfolders.

Alternatives: Notepad (DIY), WordPress, Drupal, or hiring people

Easy to use
Requires no SQL (Server-based databases- needed for several popular content managers)

No easy-updated websites.
Doesn’t create FTP folders.
