Looking for some great examples

"I may just have to. I really hate doing it because so many times you end up with a crippled app or worse yet, leftover files and items in the registry when uninstalls aren't clean. "

As with most programs, there are leftovers. Use a reg shot and see what it installs.

I like revo uninstaller for programs that I want to get rid of.

I am starting to try Xara for doing web things. I primarily use it for my vector work etc. but starting to use it for quick site mockups.

I have a menu I want to try in Xara. I will post it when it's ready.

I will say this:

I have been experimenting with a few WYSIWYG editors - Yes, Serif WP, and Muse. Tho they all have differences, If you are familiar with Xara, I myself would stick with it.

Just with the few things I have played with are so fast for me to understand and implement since I am familiar.

It's been said, give it a go.

Hey, for simple functioning sites, and! having someone else do edits... superb.

requirements that I have is the ability to create extremely attractive drop down menus and pop ups that allow for photos or text to appear when hovering over words or photos throughout the site. I haven't been too excited by what I have seen in the menu examples

To be fair, I think that the ability to design attractive drop down menus is probably more about your ability than that of the software. If you haven't been too excited by what you've seen, show us (in non-working form) what you would consider to be attractive or what you plan to do.

As you might have noticed, you're probably more likely to get feedback/encouragement/tips on doing this kind of work on web design here than just about any other place I can think of, but abstract statements and requirements never work as well as concrete examples.

Check out the Xara Web Gallery forum. There are lots of examples there.
