If you’re a niche site builder you’ve probably run across Xsite Pro at one time or another (by Paul Smithson). If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a Wysiwyg HTML editor that built with the affiliate marketer in mind (it’s a great tool and you can find it at http://xsitepro.com).
Some time ago around the time Xsite Pro 2.0 was released Paul released a software called XHeader, a totally free design tool specifically for building website and blog header graphics. It works quite well and I even created a video tutorial on how to create a header graphic with this tool about 6 months ago (if you’re interested, the video can be found here: http://supersimpleblogging.com/wordpress-installation/ – look for video 14).
In any event, Paul is just about to release a PRO version of XHeader for $37 (it opens on March 11th, 2010).
The main difference between the free and the PRO version?
The new version includes 5000 headers! (wow!)
So if you’re doing a lot of website building, it may be worth checking out. You can find it here: http://xheader.com
If you want a different alternative to creating headers and other graphical elements for your website, you may want to check out GFXwriter.
I created a short video on how to create a header graphic (for Blogger) some time ago that you may find helpful as well. Check it out:
