NetObjects Fusion edged out Microsoft FrontPage and four other products for the distinction. The award recognizes NetObjects' innovative approach to creating Web sites, and builds on NetObjects' growing momentum.

"NetObjects Fusion forges a new path among Web authoring tools with its sophisticated, flexible, and intuitive method for rapidly building a variety of Web sites," said editor John Clyman in the Nov. 1 edition of PC Magazine. "[The product] combines a best-of-breed WYSIWYG design environment with impressive database-import tools, resulting in a package that can produce rich, professional Web sites in record time."

The PC Magazine Editor's Choice is the second award NetObjects has won since the product began shipping in September, the other being Publish magazine's Impact award for its contribution to the field of publishing. In addition, NetObjects Fusion was named the Hot Pick of the Seybold trade show and called the "king of publishing tools" by CNET. The software's innovative interface and site-oriented approach has quickly gained a following among designers who want to build graphically rich, professional-quality Web sites without the hassles of HTML.

NetObjects Fusion 1.0 is currently available for the Windows and Windows NT platforms and a Macintosh version is planned before the end of the year. NetObjects Fusion can be purchased directly from NetObjects by calling 1-888-449-6400 or from the company's Web site at http://www.netobjects.com or through mail order houses MicroWarehouse and PC Zone.
