5 Point Rating from Layers Magazine
"ShutterBug is a bargain and includes a ton of templates to get
you rolling. Add a little elegance to your portfolio online or just
get goofy with some fun family shots—at only $29, this is great
photo-to-Web shareware that you’ll really want to share."
— Daniel M. East, Layers Magazine, 2005 Premiere Issue
This is a great web site development software!
ShutterBug is a simple to use yet powerful web site creation program that is a remarkable bargain for
$39.95, and like Macs in general, it just works! It would be a fine choice for almost any home or
small business use imaginable. This is a highly recommended program.
— Scott Gureck, MacNN, ShutterBug Review
Wow! I wish I'd tried it sooner, but better late than never!
"ShutterBug gets full points for stability, speed and value...As a testament to its ease of use, I've
been able to do everything I want to do without resorting to searching the on-line support forum or
contacting the developer. It is incredibly easy to modify or add to a website once it has been created
in ShutterBug. I used to delay updating my website because it was a tedious exercise, but with
ShutterBug, changes take just a few minutes."
— MacUpdate User Review
I feel empowered, not overwhelmed, by the features.
"I did create a decent site using Dreamweaver a couple of years ago. However, with ShutterBug, I
can do what I want probably 10 times faster... and it looks better, has a great slide show capability,
the ability to easily customize in lots of ways with my own photos as backgrounds. The picture
processing capability of ShutterBug is absolutely great. Shutterbug is 10X as fast for 1/10 the cost of
Dreamweaver for doing custom formatted photo albums and print media."
— Malcolm Young, Retired Nuclear Training Manager
ShutterBug is an easy-to-use and effective tool for both
amateur and pro photographers looking to export their work
to the Internet.
"Shutterbug is a WYSIWYG Web-site builder designed for the sharing
photographer in all of us...We liked the bundled templates, which
makes it easy to get a professional-looking layout in a snap."
— CNET Editor's Review
Don't make the same costly mistakes I made. Check out Shutterbug - REALLY check it
out.
"I wish I had the $25.00 I just spent to upgrade Rapidweaver and the $10.00 I just spent to
upgrade the Blocks plugin and the $18.00 I just spent for RWMultitool and the $45.00 I spent on
three RW themes just so I could break out of the cookie-cutter designs that are included with RW.
Not to mention the money I spent buying them all in the first place. There is more, but I hurts me to
talk about it. I could have spent $40 on Shutterbug and been much better off."

We were able to share our vacation with friends and family - realtime.
"Even with a couple of rum punches under my belt, ShutterBug made it a cinch to update
my Web page one evening - not the usual activity one seeks on vacation. It's like...magic."
— Marketing Executive & Mac OS 7 Vet, NYC, USA
What I like about Mac applications is simple. And simplicity. Open it up. Click around.
Get things done. So it is with Xtralean’s ShutterBug.
"There’s two important keys to ShutterBug (besides the fact that it’s simple to use and looks
professionally done): speed and quality. Speed is how quickly you can create a photo album with drag
and drop, WYSIWYG. Uh, that’s ‘true’ WYSIWYG. What you see on the screen is what you’ll see on
the screen of the photo album. It’s never a surprise. Quality is what you expect to pay for and you
won’t be disappointed." — Alexis Kayhill, Mac 360
You folks continue to amaze me. Dedication, great products, beautiful website, and
instant, friendly customer support. Class all the way.
"It is very refreshing to see a company focused from the start on the customer instead of
themselves. You have wonderful products, a beautiful website, and a great attitude...Being an Apple
enthusiast since the late 70's, I have seen it all. Rarely do I get as excited about a product as I did
this evening."
— Cory Cooper, Salem, NH, USA
This app is the phenix among all available web content creators!!
"5 stars for all relevant criteria (one who knows)!!!"
— MacUpdate User Review
The best bit is that the results do look the same on different platforms and browsers
(OSX, Win, Linux).
"I just bought your package the other day, and to cut a short story (regarding the time I had to
spend creating my web-pages with your ShutterBug) even shorter, the program is amazing. Many
thanks for affordable and highly functional software!"
— Dr. Till Eggers, Ecology Group, University of Osnabrück, Osnabrück, Germany
For a very low cost, your app includes all the graphic quality that a creative Mac user
needs to publish images on the web, very intuitively without being an HTML expert.
"I'm an architect, so for more than 15 years, I’ve worked with different graphics applications on the
Mac. My original intention was to find a good app to publish a photo gallery on the web. I had begun
with apps like 'Dreamweaver', but it was like gaze factory!!! I'm very happy to have
discovered ShutterBug, which is so easy to use, intuitive, creative… in one word: very mac ! Many
thanks to the developers for their beautiful and efficient work."
— Joë l Fontaine, Architect, Belgium

I was ga-ga about ImageWell and now I am going bonkers over ShutterBug

arsenal of imaging tools." — Seshu Badrinath, Professional Photographer & Photo Journalist,
Pipal Productions, CT, USA
