Creating image maps can be tedious work if you don't have access to a quality "point-and-click" web authoring program.
Heck, few years back, when I first learned how to spice up my menus and logos with the ease of image mapping, I used to grab the coordinates manually through my imaging software. I've personally tried quite a few applications that specialized in image mapping,
but none of them even came close to the "Coffee Cup Image Mapper". It's easy to use, effective and most importantly as affordable as you can get for a tool as useful as this one!
What Is An Image Map?
Untitled Page
It's basically an image that can be linked to multiple pages. Say you have a logo with a few menu buttons on it, you can specify different parts of the image you've created to link to multiple pages without actually breaking up the image into several pieces.
A perfect example would be Cozy Academy's main menu at the top of this page. You will notice that it's only one image that points to all the different areas on our site.
