5.0 out of 5 stars Best Web Design Software For Most People and Businesses, April 6, 2003

By	bob (Athens, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is great software and easy to understand and use. I have Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive and I easily use NetObjects Fusion 7 over 95% of the time...it is simply faster and easier to use than the latter and a much MUCH better buy. Product support is excellent and there are several sites where you can find all sorts of components and add-ons for free or very inexpensive. In the time it takes to just START to learn Dreamwever or GoLive you can have your site up and running with Fusion 7. Fusion 7 is also a great improvement over Fusion MX with the ability to change site styles within limitless pages of your site for different and customized looks. The Photo Gallery builder in Fusion 7 is far superior to the one in Adobe Photoshop 7! Before I purchased Fusion I was just a photographer and graphic designer. Now I can offer my clients web design as well. You will like it and actually USE IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars EASY TO USE Design simple or complex sites GREAT SUPPORT, August 15, 2003

By	joe smith (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

This is the very best web-design software I have used. Very easy to understand visual system with great tutorials for the most basic beginner. I had a preliminary "practice site" done in a couple of hours and a 20 page completed site published to the web the next day.

I have since published numerous sites with NetObjects Fusion, the largest of which contains tons of photos and over 200 pages and I manage it with ease with Fusion 7.

The Photo Gallery builder is great - and you can use lots of included SiteStyles to build your site. You also can edit these Styles to create your own unique styles with your own custom buttons, menus, etc. Changing colors of objects and backgrounds is a breeze - done with a click of the mouse!

The support system for this software is the best of any I own - There is a message board staffed with professionals with answers to just about any question - but if you don't find your answer there just post your question and most questions are answered in depth with links to more info. or tutorials in 20-30 minutes, usually an hour tops.

What Photoshop did for photography, NetObjects Fusion 7 has done for web design - only Fusion 7 is 100 times easier to learn and use.

You will not be disappointed and you will not outgrow NetObjects. I have just previewed new features in 7.5 and it looks like it will just get better and better.

Don't pay an overpriced web-designer - Build Your Own site - you will be much happier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best choice for what it is, January 28, 2003

By	x_bruce (Oak Park, ILLINOIS United States) - See all my reviews

NetObjects Fusion is a mature product. It is designed for people that think visually and business/family sites that can be done using one of near limitless styles.

NOF is not fun when coding HTML although as a program it is getting better for coders to read an write. Still, this is for the fun side of your personality.

If you're the kind of person that sees what they want and don't want to be bothered with anything except the most necessary data entry NetObjects Fusion 7 is for you. Beyond it's simple interface there are many improvements in NOF 7 over previous versions. It creates smaller pages, has stellar support and integrates higher tech features like applets and scripting including several components that can be purchased or found free.

The interface can look confusing at first and the manual while good could do a better job of explaining in specific detail how to do things. On the other hand that could be said about 90% of the software on the market today.

If you want simple, visual, non-programming sites that look professional this is the program for you. It's not as intrusive and heavy handed as FrontPage. In fact, I find it hard to believe anyone considers FrontPage a visual development program.

I have sites with hundreds of pages that are managed well. That's helpful in NOF but in the end you the webmaster have to put the time in.

Also, NOF is reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
