[8:20 AM] NetObjects Have You In A Bind? How About A Competitive Cross-Upgrade Offer? by Staff Wondering what HTML WYSIWYG editor to use now that your beloved NetObjects Fusion is no longer supported? SoftPress Systems has an answer. Current registered users of Fusion are eligible to purchase Freeway, another high quality visual HTML editor, at half price. According to SoftPress: In response to the recent news that NetObjects has ceased Fusion development on the Macintosh platform, SoftPress Systems today announced that it is offering NetObjects Fusion Mac users a half-price crossgrade to the company's acclaimed Web design software, Freeway 2. The crossgrade is available to verified users of any version of Fusion and can be purchased through the SoftPress Systems Web site. Freeway meets the needs of graphic designers who want an intuitive tool for designing industrial-strength Web sites without the hassle of coding. It uniquely provides a fully-featured DTP-style user interface that makes professional Web site design more intuitive and accessible than with any other visual Web design application. Freeway's familiar "Page and Pasteboard" environment for designing and accurately positioning type, graphics and multimedia allows DTP experts using applications like QuarkXpress to feel immediately at home with the user interface. Freeway is available during this special offer for US$149. You can find more information at the SoftPress Systems web site. The Mac Observer Spin: This is a blatant attempt by SoftPRess to capitalize on the NetObjects situation and we applaud their efforts. It's great to see Mac companies stepping up to the plate when opportunities present themselves. SoftPress Systems
