I'm very happy to have discovered ShutterBug, which is so easy to use, intuitive, creative…
in one word: very Mac!

Kitchener, ON, Canada — March 31, 2006 — ShutterBug Version 2, a major update to 1.2, equips users
with even more tools, opening the door to many new possibilities for web photo albums and website
creation. Built for the Mac® only, ShutterBug empowers the novice, intermediate, and even advanced
users to leverage their digital hubs and discover the power that exists at their fingertips. The drag and
drop interface, "Easy" button, and WYSIWYG design environment, promote easy and fast web site
assembly that will help users take their digital content to the next level. ShutterBug "Xtras" make it
possible for even the novice to easily add media files, contact forms, thumbnail rollovers, and other HTML
items. This is by far the most powerful version of ShutterBug yet. Available for immediate download
from XtraLean’s website at xtralean.com, a demo version can be tried for free and a registration number
can be purchased for only $50 USD (new users). Registered users get V2 for free.
Exclusively for Mac users only, Version 2 is packed with more than thirty new features that will help
users leverage the full power of their Mac - whether they want to keep their site simple or go big, the
choice is theirs. ShutterBug gives beginners the edge they need to excel at producing more advanced
web content, which may have otherwise only been possible by hiring a pro web site developer. The new
Theme Manager, is unlike any other competing application out there, allowing users to add, delete,
share, and store only the themes they want to keep, including their own custom made themes. Page
customization is a cinch, sites can be updated on the fly, and published to a .Mac account, WebDAV, or
FTP host with one click of the mouse.
The powerful and fun WYSIWYG design tools compel users to customize, design, and update their sites in
a snap. Users can easily add QuickTime, Flash movies, and audio files to their pages, unlimited 'Xtra' text
and image boxes, contact forms, page counters, HTML snippets, thumbnail rollovers, layered graphics,
and even embed other web pages into their sites. Other new features include password protection,
iPhoto integration, add external files for uploading with site, archive feature for project collaboration and
backup, navigation submenus, easy email encryption, create graphical buttons for navigation, copy, add
and delete templates, optional vertical and horizontal text wrapping around other objects, more font
settings, background image offsetting option, and so much more.
Offering users innovation and tools that make sense, users can build professional and stylish websites
that have impact, and without blowing the budget. With significant changes and improvements to the
user interface, plus twenty-six fresh new themes, ShutterBug is a robust and tightly designed
application, yet remarkably easy to use. At only $50 and less than 3 MBs in size, ShutterBug Version 2
offers an even bigger bang for the buck.
