Hi all
I have started making an affiliate site in Xara but it isn't going well. The idea is to sell boating books to boat enthusiasts through an affiliate scheme like Amazon or similar in order to leverage my knowledge of boats to earn a bit of extra money.

Poking about on the internet it seems people mostly use WordPress for this sort of project, possibly because there are so many add-ons, particularly SEO. I don't like WordPress - but maybe it has changed since I was last used it.

Do you think making a website with Xara will be a significant disadvantage in what is very likely a highly competitive (in terms of SEO) field? Are there good optimisation tools for Xara? I do appreciate that WP and Xara are different approaches.

Regards
Paul
