WebMenu Studio

With websites becoming more and more complex, navigation needs to be kept simple so that visitors don't look for alternative ways to get ahold of specific info or services. This is accomplished through menus of all kinds, with applications like WebMenu Studio giving you the possibility to prepare such elements to integrate in more complex projects.

All features are kept in a pretty simple interface, split into several sections that provide a real time updating preview of the menu you create, an objects browser, as well as a properties panel so you can carefully configure each element.

By default, a simple menu with a single element is available so you can work on it, serving as a decent template and gets you quickly up and running. You can fully interact with the objects in the preview section to carefully analyze each new change implemented in your design.

Most work is done in the objects explorer and configurations panel. With only a few mouse clicks, you can create new groups attached to the existing ones, along with as many items to each one as you need to include. Unfortunately, arrangement is pretty difficult since you can't simply drag objects in the proper spot.

In terms of customization, you need to spend a little time to get acquainted with all options in the configurations panel. Displayed in a table, each aspect of an object can be customized, from border size and color to text format options.

Your menu can directly be linked to a HTML project in case it is stored locally. This is easily done by providing the proper web root in the project settings window, which also lets you choose a default folder for project images.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that WebMenu Studio is a little far from being a pro of its kind. Design options can take some time to properly set up, while customization options are limited to colors and text style, without support for other menu types or animations. However, the output can easily be implemented in larger projects and can come in handy, given that you don't want or need to create a complex website.
