Interested in a fast and easy way to produce animated menus for your website? WebNOVA is offering a freeware program called EZMenu that makes it easy to produce professional menus in just minutes. EZMenu uses DHTML to generate ready-made JavaScript code that can be easily added to your web pages.

Features
With EZMenu you can create 3D and 2D menus and submenus in floating, cascading and mouse over styles, using shadowing, background images and animation effects. Menu content can be hyper links or JavaScript commands, and the default menu can be set separately for each web page you use the menu on. Menus can also be generated dynamically from a database using ASP, PHP or other client side scripting.

EZMenu has a small footprint and does not use a setup file to install, so there is no change to your registry or other system files. The support files that will need to be uploaded to your website are also small being only 24.4KB in size. The program runs quickly and is simple in design.

Support
Extensive help files come with the program and the "Four Easy Steps" article will get you started making menus very quickly. The help files also offer many examples of menu applications and styles and how to duplicate them. WebNOVA's website supplies an in-depth description of EZMenu's features, contact email and examples of the effects you can create.

Registration
WebNOVA allows the free use of this program for personal websites, but requires registration for commercial websites and network application. Their website address is included on all menus produced from unregistered copies, but is removed when the software is registered.

I found EZMenu to be easy to learn and use, it only took me about a half hour to produce a working menu. Even experienced web masters would find EZMenu a valuable addition to their tools.

WebNOVA is also offering other freeware programs at their website that produce favorite menus, pop-up menus and tree menus with customizable icons. This site is definitely worth a look.
