The company also announced that it had joined forces with Apple Computer and AT&T to provide developers a comprehensive Web site solution consisting of hardware platform, hosting service and authoring software. Apple and NetObjects are engaging in major co-marketing activities including tradeshows, seminars and joint sales activities. AT&T will offer NetObjects Fusion to its customers who are hosting their sites through AT&T's Web Site Services.

"With NetObjects Fusion for the Macintosh, Web site designers and developers can now work the way they think, using software that is based on the same principles of intuitive design and elegant simplicity as the Macintosh itself," said David Kleinberg, executive vice president of marketing and sales for NetObjects. "We anticipate that Macintosh developers will embrace the product for the same productivity benefits and site-oriented approach that have benefited thousands of our Windows-based customers."

Since the introduction of the Windows version of the product eight weeks ago, NetObjects Fusion has won PC Magazine's Editors Choice award, been declared a category-defining product by ten major reviewers and is being used by thousands of customers who have used the product to build rich Web sites. Internet powerhouses that actively promote NetObjects Fusion in addition to Apple and AT&T include Netscape, Microsoft, IBM, UUNET and Javasoft.

NetObjects Fusion Brings A Visual, Site-Oriented Approach to Web Site Building
NetObjects Fusion 1.0 for the Macintosh is a revolutionary site-oriented application that gives users unprecedented visual control over the design, production, and updating of the entire Web site. It is the first application that brings a visual metaphor to the process, unlike the text-based, page-oriented tools on the market today. Key features include:

• SiteStructureTM Editor -- the first visual editor that allows users to conceive and edit the hierarchical map of the entire site;
• PageDrawTM -- the first draw-based Web page layout editor that gives users WYSIWYG control over page design and layout and allows the easy integration of rich media such as QuickTime VR, Meta Content Format, Java and Shockwave;
• SiteStylesTM Manager -- the first centralized way to control site-wide look-and-feel and a gallery of over 50 professionally-designed SiteStyles;
• Automatic navigation and linking;
• One-button Publishing and Staging.
