The Bottom Line
This product has a ways to go before it is really as easy as it says. The concept is good, but the documentation and explanations are bad.
Pros
- Slideshow image creator
- No need to know HTML
- 2000+ templates to use
Cons
- Very confusing to use
- Lots of errors adding new content
- Difficult to get rid of sample content
Description
- The image slideshow generator is easy to use once you find it. And it results in nice slideshows.
- Installs with one default template, and lots more available for download.
- Fairly clear, icon-based, Web page editor for marking up your content. The icons are very small.
- Contact list and catalog are form based to add new items to your site.
- Even the graphics in the templates are generated based on your content.
Guide Review - EzGenerator
The idea behind this product is a good one - create a format for Web pages and simply add content into pre-generated templates. In theory, it should be easy to use, but in practice, I suspect the learning curve would be very steep for most beginners. When I open up a new Web editor, I expect to understand how to create a whole new site for myself with only a few clicks. But EzGenerator comes pre-installed with a complete Web site already written - with names and email addresses of "friends" and "Business contacts" as well as supposed DVDs and CDs that I own. I couldn't find any place to say "Start New". I could "Add" files to the existing site, but to start over I'd have to delete all that data.
