Thank you for choosing WebDDM for your drop down menu software solution! Here's why.... WebDDM is free. No, really! There's no trial version; the only version is the complete, free version! Because of its open source license, you can modify and redistribute WebDDM in any way that you see fit - see the license.
Most menu software is over $40 for a single license. Some software packages are over $1000! That is ridiculously expensive. And WebDDM is amazingly cheap. WebDDM is small. WebDDM is very small. For your convenience, all files have been included twice: once compressed, once not compressed. We recommend that you upload the compressed versions to your website and leave the uncompressed versions on your hard drive to decrease load times for your visitors. WebDDM is easy. It has a one-of-a-kind menu array system that is not found in any commercial drop down menu software! You can have complex menus up and running in minutes.
Most menu programs today have confusing parameters, and no array system at all!
They do this why? So that their source code is harder to read. Pretty bad, huh? They're so worried about someone looking at their for more than five seconds that they've made it a pain to set up simple menus. I cannot say this enough times: WebDDM is fast!
WebDDM shows a "menu loading" message while menus are being built and activated. And you know what? That loading message is NEVER seen!
Because of this, your menu will seem more like a part of your website, rather than just an extension - as SOON as the page is loaded, the menu is there!
WebDDM is faster than any commercial or non-commercial menu software in existance.
Creation of one full menu, $500 software: Over six seconds
Creation of one full menu, $40 software: Over three seconds
Creation of one full menu, WebDDM: less than two tenths of a second. WebDDM is fast. It's small. It's free. So it must not have very many features, right? Wrong.
WebDDM is packed with features that are easy to implement. Just by modifying a few settings, you can make WebDDM automatically create context (right-click, left-click, or rollover) menus (they can be bound to any element); floating menus that stay on-screen at all times; menus with tooltips; and menus with tons of dazzling effects. There are tutorials on all of these features.

WebDDM is customizable! Anything you can see, you can customize - colors, sizes, positions, effects... the list goes on and on. WebDDM is stable. It has been crafted through many years of trial-and-error testing on many browsers and operating systems, studying all aspects of JavaScript, and losing sleep. WebDDM was originally created (and still maintained) for the developers; if something is unstable, slow, or buggy, we don't want it on our site! WebDDM is amazing, award-winning software. And that's why. I think you'll agree. WebDDM is free because we, the creators at Cortex Creations, believe in open source software. This means that anyone can copy, modify, and redistribute WebDDM as they see fit. This means that any time someone finds a bug, wants to implement a new feature, or change something, they can do it - without fear of breaking any licenses.
Every time you use WebDDM on a web page, you are helping the web evolve!

Because WebDDM is completely free, it would be nice if you could do something in return for using our software, which took months of hard work to develop, but this is in no way whatsoever required. So, if you want to us help out, take a look at what you can do for us.
WebDDM is developed and distributed by Cortex Creation, an open source software and web development company. The Cortex Creation home page can be found at www.cortex-creations.com. WebDDM is a large, time-consuming process. Many hours over a period of a few years have gone into its developement, testing, debugging, and optimization!
WebDDM is comparable to software that costs over $1000 for a single license.
We could easily charge over $1000 for WebDDM. But we're giving it to you for free! We encourage you to help us out, even if it's just sending us a "Thank You"! We love getting feedback of any kind.
