Serif Webplus X2 Website Maker

Serif WebPlus X2 is a feature-packed website-authoring tool that won't break your budget

Serif has a long history of creative software development, building inclusive tools at budget prices. WSerif WebPlus X2 is no exception, packed with extra resources, easy to use wizards and comprehensive documentation.

The generous templates and clipart are a Serif trait, but we were surprised at how functional the Serif WebPlus X2 web-authoring package actually is.

Serif WebPlus X2 is aimed at casual users, providing a drag-and-drop page design environment that doesn't require any coding experience whatsoever.

In fact, Serif WebPlus X2 feels more like a desktop-publishing package than a web-authoring application. There's no code produced until your site's published – and from our tests the results are clean and readable should you wish to make any manual edits.

There's enough in Serif WebPlus X2 to keep more demanding users happy too – like RSS tools that enable you to insert blog headlines and news feeds. Dynamic forms can be created with a couple of clicks and there are site-management tools too. These include full publishing features, traffic reports and improved search engine optimisation to make sure your pages appear within Google's search results.
