Create modern, fast and powerful web menu navigation directly in Frontpage with Vista Buttons Menu Add-in for Frontpage (Expression Web). This add-in allows users to easily modify, add, and create web menus without having to leave their favorite web design tool.
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Vista Buttons Menu Add-in for Frontpage (Expression Web) and I must say I was impressed. This add-in allows you to easily create modern and powerful web menus directly in Expression Web, FrontPage 2000 (version 9), Microsoft FrontPage 2002 (version 10), Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 (version 11).
What I really appreciated about this add-in was the ability to create, modify, and add website menus to your web pages without leaving your favorite web design tool. The appearance of the menus is fully customizable, with over 500 website button themes, 100 submenu templates, 6600+ icons, 50 ready-made samples, or you can even create your own buttons using the special tool - Theme Editor.
With this add-in, you can create both horizontal and vertical navigation menus and submenus with any amount of items on the one page. The opportunities of creating web navigation are limitless with support for icons, colors, font styles, custom images and so on. Additionally, sub menus will drop down over all the page objects (select, flash, object, embed).
One feature that really stood out to me was that the Vista Buttons menus have a structure based on HTML list of links (LI and UL tags), which is readable by any search-engine spiders and text browsers. The dhtml menus generated by Vista Buttons run perfectly on all old and new browsers, including IE5,6,7,8, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome on PC, Mac, and Linux.
For users who may not be familiar with coding languages, creating professional, cross-browser, and search engine friendly web menus is still possible. To insert a menu on your page, simply click Vista Buttons Menu button on the toolbar in Frontpage (Expression Web). The Vista Buttons editor then launches, allowing you to create a menu using a powerful & easy-to-use interface with built-in preview. Select a pre-built themes or templates, add icons, adjust style settings as you want, and click 'Save and Close'. Your drop down menu will be inserted into your web page.
Overall, I would highly recommend this add-in to anyone looking for an easy and efficient way to create powerful web menus directly within their preferred web design tool. Making changes is just as easy with the option to click the Vista Buttons Menu button on the toolbar and select "Edit menu" or "Remove menu" buttons.
