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.

I bought BannerZest Pro in June 2009. In September, Version 2 came out. So, I used version 1.x for just about 3 months. You would expect an upgrade to be out of question. Not so with Aquafadas!

Though I like the product, this policy is ripping off customers!

I have been using this product since the very beginning and I have total satisfaction with it. The new sound capacity is a plus and it gives a professional look.

Keep on developing BannerZest Pro with some more themes in the future.

You don't have to be a Pro to use this application and I would agree that those who can't get it to work are unfairly criticizing this application. I had the opportunity to buy it for half price in a deal and had my first "creation" up and running on an iWeb built site in about 30 minutes.
While the method of getting it to work on your website is not exactly a no brainer, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have outlined the procedure I used for getting a banner to run on a site built using iWeb '09 in a comment to the previous poster.
I do think that it would be hard to justify the cost of BannerZest Pro for use on on or two personal websites but, if you design for others, it is a useful application for quickly producing something different.
