Review of the
Amazing XHeader Web/Blog
Site Header Graphic Design Software
I was
recently lucky enough to find the XHeader header design
software for free online for creating my new website's header.
I wasn't expecting much from something free, so I was
pleasantly surprised when I found out XHeader was more than
powerful enough to create the professional looking header I
wanted. XHeader impressed me with an easy to use interface,
simple software layout, and professional results that made me
look like I'd been using graphic design software for years.
Read on for some details on why I found XHeader to be a solid
addition to any blogger or web-master's
toolkit.
Easy to
Use Interface
One
of the first things I noticed about using XHeader was the easy
to use interface. XHeader provides a great visual header
creation system that lets you build your header without
learning any esoteric graphics software techniques. Since
XHeader is designed to focus on doing one thing it is able to
have a simple, straightforward interface that anyone can jump
right in and use. The XHeader website offers a great tutorial
for getting started, but I found that this extra help was
completely unnecessary.
One
major problem I've always had with graphics software is saving
at a quality level that will load quickly without sacrificing
looks. XHeader makes choosing a JPG quality level when you save
extremely simple and allows you to preview the results as you
go. The appealing visual interface makes it incredibly simple
to just jump right in and start creating your website
header.
Simple
Layout
Part
of XHeader's ease of use comes from the program's consistent
and easy to understand layout. When I started XHeader, I had no
trouble finding all the functions I may need to work on my
header. XHeader walks you straight through choosing a header
image, creating a website title, and altering both as you see
fit. Everything is arranged in a logical and consistent manner
that let me go directly to what I wanted to do as soon as I
wanted to do it without ever touching the
tutorial.
Professional Looking
Results
I was
shocked by the professional looking results I was able to
achieve with such a simple piece of free software. XHeader is
so easy to use that until I tried it I expected the results to
be lackluster, at best. I was wrong. While the interface may
not be complicated, the power to create a professional header
is definitely there. XHeader provides everything I needed for
giving my website a solid and professional looking header, with
the simplicity coming from focusing on only creating
headers.
I was
especially impressed with the images XHeader made available for
me to use with my website. I went ahead and registered to get
the 500 images package, and I wasn't disappointed. There was a
wide variety of professional looking header images available,
enough to match any style of website design and content. With
the image set XHeader offered, I had no problem making a
professional looking header that fit in with my
website.
Conclusions
I was
impressed by XHeader, and I can solidly recommend the software
to anyone looking for a way to create a professional looking
website or blog header without being a Photoshop pro. XHeader
gave me all the tools I needed to work on my header without
bogging itself down with pointless extras that would complicate
the interface. XHeader is solid software, and I'm amazed it's
being offered for free.
