"Good for non-programmers, build websites quickly"
Version: A4Desk 6.35
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"
Version: A4Desk 6.28
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"
Version: A4Desk 6.13
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.

"More than 100 Great Templates to choose from, easy to use"
Version: A4Desk 6
Pros
More than 100 Great Templates to choose from, easy to use
-
"Easy, no coding, build my first site in minutes"
Version: A4Desk 6
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"
Version: A4Desk 5.84
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.
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.
