And users can create as many news tickers as they like, and update them as often as they like. Amara News Ticker offers true value for money.

Amara News Ticker's intuitive user-interface hardly needs explaining. Users can add a new news item, type their text, and include a hyperlink to each of the news items. They can choose from a long list of font type faces and use their own preferred colors and sizes for the news items - all the same or all different, it's up to them. They can choose the background and border color, as well as the mouse-over colors for the news items.
The news ticker has various settings for scrolling speed, from fast to slow, and it can be set to pause from one to many seconds between the different news items.

Amara News Ticker saves the user's creation and gives it as an HTML code which can then easily be copied and pasted into the user's website. It is compatible with all commonly-used HTML editors. The user's settings are also saved within the program, so the news ticker can simply be opened again later to make changes or additions.

Amara News Ticker is a shareware program, so anyone who is interested can first try out the free version before buying it. The unregistered version can be downloaded for free from the Amara Web Design Software website, but any creations will contain a visible watermark. Users who want to save news tickers created with Amara News Ticker to use it on their website need to purchase the registered version of the program. It is available for only US$19.95 via Amara Software's website.
