Again--Yhis software may be too much for me as I am not a developer and there is too much jargon and technical issues I do not understand. Can someone talk to me live and take me through it?

It is very user friendly. But like everything, you need to get a bit of a feel for how it works at the start.
Just play around if some settings or object's. try to keep simple at the start
Use also the help anywhere, its very good and there is also a best practise part.
Here is a small v11 demo in you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvzBFThJmCA
To my best knowladge there is no talk live through helpdesk, specific questions can be made here.
Hey David, give yourself a chance. Website X5 is by far the easiest to use of the software programs of this type. Start with the user manual, look at and read some of the topics. Read some articles web design. Find a couple sites explaining website words and terms and look up the words and terms you don't understand. Also how a website is constructed or the layout of one in general terms. They all use similar descriptions and meanings across most programs. I think the user guide does ok with this.
I had to play the main video and look at the user guide many times before I got the concept of how X5 works. And then tried just one page. Open the program and start working through the seqence of creating a website, even if you don't, that's ok, just start. Click on "stuff" and see what comes up. Go to the next step and check it out. Close the program or save and come back later. You can always back out or delete a mock project. No problem!

I have most of the other programs: FrontPage, Exp. Web, Sitespinner, Xara, Serif, WWB10 and CoffeeCup. Did trials on others too. The learning curve is steeper with all the rest and vertical with CoffeeCup. Also Cad Design programs SolidWorks and Pro-E.
Many are first fooled, when looking at or reviewing, with how easy X5 is to use and think it does not have many features. When actually it is loaded with built-in features and more flexable than it appears. You just have to know where to find them.
Andre has it right. Check out the "Praise" page also.
You can do it David. Regards - Donald
