INTRODUCTION

PanelSuite is a toolset that is used to construct DHTML panels for ASP.NET. Much like its sister program, MenuSuite, it is made up of two main components: PanelBuilder and UltimatePanel. It is easy to use and will help you emensly when it comes time to input a panel on your site.

INSTALLATION

The PanelSuite installation was very straightforward and undemanding. No time is wasted on this installation process.

CONFIGURATION

PanelSuite has a very understandable setup and is exceptionally easy to get to know. It runs off PanelBuilder and UntimatePanel in order to give the client the most feasibility and accessibility with regard to creating any panel. PanelBuilder allows for the client to add styles to any created panel by using the Panel CSS textbox; the UltimatePanel is what you will drag and drop onto your web page in the final stages of design. This new, modified version, PanelSuite 2.0, comes fully loaded with many considerable new features and improvements such as minimized HTML code and Data Binding.

INTERFACE

All of the options for the PanelBuilder are clearly laid out and all preferences are just a click away. The interface of the main screen is immediately informative and easy to understand; everything that you need to know has been carefully placed directly in front of you. UltimatePanel is comparably trouble-free to access and use; the panel advantages are endless and the layout could not be better. The colour is basic but adds a professional look to the screen, however is very appropriate for the software. This interface may seem customary, but it will get the job done superior to any other.

FUNCTIONALITY

PanelSuite is exceedingly functional and with the purpose of presenting the client with exceptionally good looking panels for any style of surroundings. The essence of this software is to offer the client with highly customizable panels that are straightforward, visually appealing and easy to navigate with.

EASE OF USE

The software is outfitted with a help preference that will direct you through the already easy to understand set-up. Like any other software, this one can seem a bit confusing with the options but once you start, the options are limitless and the panels become self explanatory.

CONCLUSION

I found this program very useful for its intended purpose of building web site panels. PanelSuites feature rich options create an extremely likeable solution to panel building. I recommend it to anyone that wishes to knock hours (and in some cases days) off of their work. You will not be disappointed with this advanced panel builder.

PROS: a. Big Timesaver. b. Great interface. CONS: a. Slight learning curve.
