NetObjects Announces eFuse.com
New On-line Resource Guides Businesses through Process of Building, Hosting and Promoting Effective Web Sites

Redwood City, Calif., Dec. 7, 1998 - NetObjects, Inc. today announced the launch of eFuse.com, an on-line resource dedicated to helping small businesses easily create compelling Web sites. NetObjects' new www.efuse.com is a comprehensive, friendly, easy-to-use Web site that provides valuable information on designing, building, deploying and promoting a successful on-line business presence.

"While more and more businesses need to get on-line or enhance their current presence, finding accurate and reliable information on the Web can be difficult, and when people do find it, it's usually too technical to be of any real use," said eFuse.com editor and producer, Daniel Will-Harris known for his best-selling books, as well as popular Web sites. "Most on-line resources on Web site building are dedicated to the technology professional. In contrast, eFuse.com is unique publication designed to appeal to the small business user, and provides information on all aspects of Web site building in a friendly, simple, non-intimidating way."

eFuse.com offers businesses integrated solutions including content, products, and services, to help them through the entire process of building and promoting their Web site. eFuse.com is written by professional writers and designers for business users and includes original content from best-selling authors with years of real-life experience such as Lynda Weinman, best-selling book author, and Roger Parker known for his classic "Looking Good" books, as well as editor Daniel Will-Harris, who has written extensively for leading publications including CNET:The Computer Network (NASDAQ:CNWK).

"eFuse.com is the perfect on-line resource for anyone who wants to demystify the Web and make it work for their business," said Keith Harvey, vice president and chief technical officer, Inductive Knowledge Services, Inc. (IKS). "The Web site is a breath of fresh air and provides a valuable reference that everyone can understand and benefit from."

eFuse.com is designed to guide Web site builders through all the stages of the Web site building process. The on-line magazine includes detailed sections about site planning, site design, site building and site publishing.

Planning a site
The first step in creating a successful site is planning. eFuse.com introduces site builders to important concepts, helps them learn how to develop a site from scratch, offer advice about technical considerations and provide handy, ready-made vertical market packs to be used as the basis for a site. And last, site builders will learn about NetObjects Fusion site planning and organization features.

"I knew nothing about designing sites when I first visited eFuse.com. With it's help, I was able to build a comprehensive site for my business from start to finish in days," said Karen Linden of Steppin' Out Musical Productions. "It walked me through the process in an easy, informal way. I learned the basics, then great tips, tricks and suggestions which made my site more informative and useful.""

Designing a site
In this section, eFuse.com helps site builders learn about graphic and interface design, shows dramatic before and after site makeovers, teaches about creating content, gives practical advice about creating graphics, and presents a gallery of well-designed sites. Site builders also learn about NetObjects Fusion Page and Style features. The magazine also features the Stylizer containing a database of all the NetObjects Fusion styles from software version 1.0 through 4.0 (www.efuse.com/stylizer/ )

Building a site
This section helps site builders take what they have learned and put it into action and demystifies complex topics including database publishing and intranets. Freefonts and clip art help create more attractive Web sites. Special deals let readers spend less and get more. And finally, site builders can learn how to cover their Assets in NetObjects Fusion. efuse.com also provides vertical markets templates, especially designed Web sites that can be used to jump-start the site-building process, for different vertical markets such as real estate,

Publishing a site
From staging to e-commerce, eFuse.com teaches readers how to get Web sites up and running, find an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and get a domain name, and then manage a site so it stays fresh and compelling. Site builders are taught how to market and promote their site, and even how to make their site pay.
