Xara is not that hard to use, it's inexpensive, lots of tutorials, and the results can be great on the webpage given the designer.

None of which addresses the Thread's request.
I can agree that the XDAs are easy to use. They, however, need lots of care and understanding to deliver clean and worthwhile designs.
Ultimately, an XDA designer is not coding but still has to be aware of the underlying web technology.
Throwing gizmos and widgets onto a page does not necessarily inspire the viewer to linger.

So back to the original post. Show me a nice website produced with Xara.
Have we answered your question @rsrsrs?
One of my favourites which I bookmark for simplicity is http://ipauland.com/index.html#about
I constantly remind myself of what Gary Priester posted a long time ago. Clean, simple, minimal text.
I try to produce that, but still abide with clients wishes.
Some people want so much text. Heavens! Produce a feeling with a theme for web, and leave print for newsletters.

FlySOLO, your sites all share a very specific design style that I find clean and very attractive. Great work and a great inspiration! Your use of different shapes & graphics, flat compositions with slight offsets, color & font schemes and animations creates a user/visitor experience that is diverse yet coherent. One aspect that, as far as I'm concerned, could be toned down a bit, though, is the number of animations.
Just did this update to my site and added more new pages

I like the mainly simplicity of Xara, been using it for several years. I used to use NetObjects Fusion, another visual builder that got a lot of flak for having weird code, but was again easy to use and design.

Very nice on iPad @doane. Love the hero image fade in.
