Redwood City, CA, Feb 10, 1997 -- NetObjects, Inc., a leader in Web site publishing software, today announced that two cutting-edge technology companies, NeTpower Inc. and Kinetix', have used NetObjects' award-winning Web site authoring software to build media-rich corporate Internet sites.
Located at www.NeTpower.com and www.ktx.com, the two sites support both companies' missions to demonstrate the multimedia and Internet-ready aspects of the Windows NT operating system and use rich media such as Java, streaming audio and video to disseminate information effectively and facilitate sales and marketing activities.
"Having become the de facto standard in the Web design community, we are now penetrating the heart of the enterprise by allowing corporate customers to build sophisticated Web sites," said Samir Arora, chairman and CEO of NetObjects. "We believe that NetObjects Fusion's inherent productivity benefits will allow many more corporations to Web-volutionize their businesses and positively impact their bottom-line."
NeTpower and Kinetix join over 100,000 users who are using NetObjects Fusion to create a compelling Internet presence and are reporting a dramatic resulting increase in overall customer satisfaction and in the level of customer inquiries and sales. NeTpower and Kinetix' Webmasters attest to NetObjects Fusion's unique metaphor to site building which gives users a quantum leap in productivity over other products.
"NetObjects Fusion's unique SiteStructure editor and WYSIWYG interface reduced my development time and helped me create a truly interactive site without much effort," said Wolfgang Hahner, Kinetix' Creative Director. "I was also impressed with NetObjects Fusion's automatic navigation and linking which let me reorganize my site in minutes while providing the site with intuitive end-user navigation."
The Kinetix Web site receives over 100,000 hits a day and offers customers a wide range of services including information on new products, product downloads and technical support.
"NeTpower is taking the media streaming lead in the NT systems space and we were very pleased that NetObjects Fusion allowed us to showcase this competency on the Internet," said Todd Hinders, NeTpower's Webmaster. "Most of the people who visit our 230-page Web site are there for a particular reason and not just to receive the freebie of the month. As a result, we get about twice the number of qualified leads from our Web site than we do from our traditional advertising and marketing activities."
NetObjects Fusion 1.0 is the industry's only visual, site-oriented Web site building software that gives users a quantum leap of productivity over manual, programmatic ways of building Web sites today. NetObjects' flagship Web site building software application, NetObjects Fusion 1.0 is available for Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
