swMenuMaker Professional edition is a menu management component for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla1.0.x. It does what the inbuilt Joomla menu manager does but a lot quicker. You can edit/create complete menu structures in minutes instead of hours. Complete menus are edited on the one screen without any page reloads. This means you can rename items, move them, and change what they link to using an easy to understand graphical web interface.

When your happy with the menu structure you press save and the whole menu structure is saved.

I used to sell this for $29USD and have sold many hundreds of copies in the last two years. But now after updating it and adding Joomla1.5 native compatability I've decided to give it away for free! I believe swMenuMaker is one of the most useful components you will ever download for Joomla and this prompted my decision to give it away.

Go to http://www.swmenupro.com and grab a copy.
