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.

BannerZest Pro CommentaryMisleading pricing listed - Version: 1.1.2, 5/28/2008 08:39PM PST

icheesehead
There is a listing for both the standard version and the pro version. Both listings are being advertised for $49. However the reality is the this product is actually $129 which is more than double the price listed here for the pro version. These people are fraudulently drumming up website traffic stats by not providing the actual price. They should either change the listed price or honor it...

This is a solid product that you can get for 6 more days in the MacUpdate Bundle. I've found it very useful, and I agree it is a bit overpriced normally, but getting it in the Bundle was great.
