Web-site design made easy. No need for HTML!
Web design made easy.
You can design your web site from scratch or, to get up and running really quickly, use one of the professionally designed templates. There are templates to suit everyone and customizing them is easy because you don't need to know HTML or any other complicated programming language.
Simply drag and drop what you want, such as buttons, photos, text, and more, onto your page. And it's just as easy to add music, videos, Flash banners, or anything else you might want on your web site. You can even change the entire color scheme in just a couple of clicks. When we say easy, we mean it!
Free hosting included
Get online straight away! When you buy WebPlus X5, you'll get six months web hosting absolutely free!
It's not just any hosting, it's six months of our Silver hosting package. That means you'll get 250 MB of web space--enough for all but the largest sites, 2 GB of bandwidth every month, a personalized email address, and a sub-domain that is unique to your web site.
WebPlus Hosting
WebPlus X5 includes six months of Silver hosting with every WebPlus X5 purchase. Free hosting is applicable to new WebPlus.net accounts only.
Your own unique web address
Get an address for free in the format www.yoursite.webplus.net. You can upgrade to a different hosting package if you would like your own .com or similar web address. If you have an existing domain name you can transfer it to a Serif WebPlus.net hosting package.
2 GB monthly bandwidth
This is enough bandwidth volume for a popular website with low demands on traffic (e.g. text and images), or for light traffic if hosting your own video or other large files. Content streamed from other servers e.g. YouTube does not affect your WebPlus.net bandwidth.
250 MB storage
A web site comprised of text and images will not likely ever fill this space, leaving enough room for some of your own video and audio if you wish.
1 email address
In the format yoursite@webplus.net.
Secure e-commerce.
Secure e-commerce made easy

Embed or stream your own videos and music on your site--ideal for showing off your products and services, promoting your band, or just as an easy way for friends and family to see your home movies.

You need to Marry with Serif if you purchase their product, Oct 6 2011
By Randall Ellis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Serif WebPlus X5 (DVD-ROM)
First understand the following is my opinion based on my failed attempt to use Serif WebPlus X5. I wanted a product to replace my old FrontPage. When testing Serif "free advance software" it did everything I wanted a package to do.Before purchasing the product I asked if the product is one hundred percent stand-alone for development on my PC (does not require any interface to Serif). I was assured that it was. I develop off-line in a remote area of Thailand and only go on-line when I am ready to upload a site. I also told them BEFORE I purchased I wanted a product that had no requirement for me to be "married" to the product developer!
When reading about the features and functions Serif advertises the ability add code for log-in and counters (etc) - they call this "Smart Objects", code that results in data needing to be retained. I asked the same person in customer service, that assured me the product did not require any interface to Serif to develop and use, if the product had these capabilities which I was assured that it did.
If you use a "Smart Object" you have to go on-line with Serif to register it - that is register the html page you develop! Why, because they keep the data on their server!! You cannot keep you own data on your own selected host! You cannot control your own data, you cannot maintain your own data - the data you collect is at Serif! You need to go to Serif for YOUR data! They also say if your usage is too high you need to purchase additional storage from them! You CANNOT develop code or host your internet site without being attached to Serif if you use a "Smart Object". Let me repeat; No counters, No commerce, No "anything" that results in data being stored without a "marriage" to Serif! No using all of the awesome capabilities advertised about the product without being MARRIED to Serif.
Then, when asked for a refund the answer was NO - I waited more than 7 days to ask for it! 7 Days! Why not just give the taillight guarantee (when you can no longer see my taillights the guarantee is over). Who can review all the products features in 7 days?
They "lie" (in my opinion this is the right word as it is the only word I know that describes not telling a truth) about their capabilities and when caught tell me that I SHOULD PURCHASE the "Smart Object" feature and function FROM SOME ONE ELSE, features that were advertised with no statement about needing to be on-line with Serif to develop and host your developed site. Features I thought I paid for when purchasing their product!
The Serif product is really an awesome product and will be perfect for you IF you want to be married to a development company and have them CONTROL YOU and to CONTROL YOUR DEVELOPMENT by making you be on-line with them in order to develop and host your sites. Why would a company develop such an awesome product and then ruin it by thinking that it is good marketing to CONTROL their customers!

Used for 18 months, looking for better software and support., Oct 16 2011
By Jay "Builder" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Serif WebPlus X5 (DVD-ROM)
I have quite a bit of HTML and site building experience using site creation utilities. Because of this experience, I am not satisfied with the contratints of verizon or network solutions standard web site solutions and authoring tools. Serif offers more control for those of us in the gap between novices and professionals.After you purchase any Serif product, if you chose to register, you will receive sales calls to cross sell you on the rest of the Serif suite of products. If you plan to go the Serif route, get Page Plus and Photo Plus. The funny thing is, Web Plus provides a better graphics editor than either Page Plus or Draw Plus. So, when I want to create an object, I make it in Web Plus then transfer to Photo Plus to make a .jpg. Basic functionality available in one, such as the ability to fill in a background using similar clicks and commands, should be available and work the same in all three.
I could live with the quirks, especially for the price.
What I cannot live with is support that tells me to read the manual or go on line to find the answer after I have already checked the manual and searched the knowledgebase and found no answers. Especially for a function that worked previousely. Pay close attention to the Serif suport policy.
I purchased four products out of the suite and paid for the upgrades to the next version of each. For this, I expect a vendor to toss me a bone and help with some support. I am now looking for another software package to fill my needs.

Easy to handle, July 4 2011
By Pastor Brian - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Serif WebPlus X5 (DVD-ROM)
With a little basic knowledge of working your way around a computer I created a 26 page web site in two days. Once it is hosted and on the web i will post it here so you can see what you can create. I know I am scratching the surface and the site could be cleaned up to look and opperate better, but a multi-layered web site was pretty easy to create.The help feature is great. No matter what my question I found a very imformative help section that guided me through the process. Many questions I had were answerable through a very helpful video, no more than 2-3 minutes a piece, on the subject in question. Serif has made the process of designing a website as painless and easy for novices as possible.
I was worried that since they did not have religious templates to guide me or work from, the church web site I designed would not look right. I was wrong. The predesigned templates on the program were a good starting point and were quickly edited and redesigned to make my site look professional and original. In most of the 26 pages I never used a template and just designed on the fly. It was easy and a lot of fun.
I highly recommend this product.
Listmania!
