Product Description:

BannerZest is Flash presentation software for professional and amateur web designers. Turn your pictures into a flash slideshow with a few simple clicks and share it on your website. BannerZest doesn't require you to know or even possess Flash!

BannerZest uses the concept of themes, that work like templates. You don't have to spend hours in Flash for a beautiful animation. Our designers have done it for you! Paste your photos, choose the colors, done!

Whether you are using Apple iWeb, RapidWeaver, Dreamweaver or any other tool, BannerZest will let you put your banners online in no time. Uploading your work via FTP or to your .Mac account is fully supported from within BannerZest. Integrating a banner on a page is as simple as pasting a code snippet prepared for you. Social web sites are supported too.

The PRO version adds the ability to attach a URL to each media in the banner and integrates seamlessly with media viewers such as LightBox and ShadowBox. It also features exclusive themes and a media browser giving easy access to images on disk, in iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom.

Easy to use... impossible to load. - Version: 1.5, 5/26/2009 01:10PM PST

The Sting

I have had this product for a while. It worked great in iWeb 08, but will not work in 09... at least in the fifteen ways I tried.

Save your money. Especially if you hate dismissive customer support.

I was on this page to get the update and glanced at the reviews. It seems that only the people who have problems with the program bother to write about it. I've been using it for about a year and appreciate its ability to allow me to create professional looking flash animations quickly and easily. People often ask me how I created the header in my web page. I would like to take more credit - but it is just a matter of selecting the type of slide show, adding the images, adjusting how I want it to appear and publishing. There is a bit of a learning curve. A program that has this power will take 30 minutes or so to understand. But once you get it, you can design and change slide shows in a flash (pun intended). If you do much web design, go for the Pro version.

Pricey, Limited, Hard To Use - Version: 1.3, 2/18/2009 09:37PM PST

Brass Hammer

I suppose it might be possible for this program to be harder to use, I just cannot imagine how. I find that the number of themes are very limited, and not all that useful. The company seems more enamored by its flashy initial graphics than usefulness from a day to day perspective. Of course, I suppose it is possible that the program is more useful and I suspect, but that I simply can't make it work because it is so very difficult to use. Finally, there is the price. $129 for an application of this type is outrageous. $19.95 would be a gift to the developer.
