I have not used XSite Pro but looking through their features it looks like a complete solution to building websites. It is not a blogging platform like WordPress where pages and posts are editing online, but I see that it has a scheduler to post the pages when you want them. Like WordPress, XSite Pro uses plugins for extending its capabilities. After WordPress, the next most popular platform is Drupal. Many government agencies use Drupal to build and manage their websites. In stead of having different modules for discussion forums and group permissions, Drupal has them built in. It is also much tougher to learn than WordPress. Choosing the platform you will use will depend on what you want to do with the website and how much time you are willing to invest in learning the software, versus putting it online and getting the content published.
