A4Desk for Windows

User Reviews

• Been using this software for 5 years, but now .....

  frederick_gingellMarch 25, 2013

  Pros

  Worth it if they provide proper support and patches.

  Cons

  After 5 years of successful use, the photos are not loading on the website, due to the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player. A4Desk support when asked for a patch, the ONLY REPLY is that it has been solved with their new version WHICH HAS TO BE PURCHASED. So instead of providing a patch and keep a customer happy, I have to buy again the software. What happens if a new version of Flash Player comes out which is again not compatible with A4Desk Photo Flash Gallery software? Of course they will give the same reply, we have a new version which you have to buy over again.

• Good for non-programmers, build websites quickly

  stfarmerJanuary 6, 2010

  Pros

  Very easy to use and even beginners can start to build websites the first time using it with its template based editing approach. Useful for building sites quickly with its design gallery which contains 100+ nice looking sites for instant usage.

  Cons

  No multipe drop down menu support -- which is only available in its PRO version (a separate product)

• Simple interface, however many bugs and limitations

  ljlavalleAugust 19, 2009

  Pros

  Quick easy way to build a flash based webpage, but..................

  Cons

  Very plain and simple, which means you get simple - but even simple is more limited by font size restrictions until it looks "just right" and not "cut off".

  Summary

  Each template cost $39 to register unless you choose another unlimited plan by the month, or a one time fee. You can put a music file on the page, but if you choose not to have a music file, it still uploads when you ftp to your site - an extra time buster. Tech support is email only and takes about one day for each answer. Menu buttons don't show unless you upload an image for each button and the buttons are cropped to conform to the template - something that you can't change. I have not seen any "submenu" options in the program. Preview window does not show changes from the composition area.I wanted to quickly get a website up, but this software actually complicated matters. There were no other reviews when I wrote this - I'm curious on what others feel about this program. I would strongly consider checking out other programs until some bug issues are worked out and more options are added to the basic A4desk program.

• Hidden catch

  dudegjlAugust 21, 2008

  Pros

  easy, simple (as far as the demo goes)

  Cons

  BEWARE - The price you see is only for ONE / EACH TEMPLATE. It's well over a hundred bucks for all of the templates which might be worth it, but it's the way they try to trick you into buying the "program" when you're actually buying only one template.

• Easy, no coding, build my first site in minutes

  kv2005usApril 10, 2008

  Pros

  Enjoyed using this software to build sites quickly -- without thinking or any learning, just choose a template then fill in the blanks.

  Cons

  Good to see they now support forms, but only support contact-us type form is a bit limited.

• Nice program, but costs too much

  lwf58December 20, 2007

  Pros

  As advertised, it's simple to use, and many (although not all) of the templates supplied with the demo are attractive.

  Cons

  The costs involved are such that you'd have to be either a well-to-do company or an absolutely idiot to pay them. You don't really buy the program - you pay for a license to publish a template on the internet, and if you want to put up a site using any others, you have to pay for them too. That's $49.95 *per flash template*. They have an "unlimited" plan, but that has to be renewed periodically: $89 for 3 months, $125 for 6 months, or $139 for 12 months as of 12/20/07. <p> <p>Despite its simple interface, this program obviously isn't being marketed for home users. They must have been aiming at corporations without a web developer on staff, judging by that milk-them-dry pricing.
