Netobjects Fusion 5

Netobjects have always built very good website building applications, and Fusion 5 is the latest version. It is by far the easiest website program to use, but is not as adaptable as Macromedia Dreamweaver. The thing that puts it above Dreamweaver is it's template based approach. You start a new site, choose a site style and then every time you add a page it automatically uses the site style, including all the buttons and graphics from the master page. This could be a little restrictive for some but it makes updating your site a lot easier. Let's say that you've built a site with five sections, with each section comprising of five pages. ...  Read the complete review

Although Fusion could be criticised for the lack of advanced features, it more than makes up for this with its unique site-based template format. If you want to create sites in a hurry, this is definitely the tool to go for. You don't need to worry about HTML, Javascript or any of the other stuff - you can concentrate on the content and let Fusion deal with turning your ideas into working code. The first site I created using Fusion took 4 hours for a nine-page site - and most of that was thinking about the content. It was more like using DTP than a web authoring tool. One of the neatest features is the automatic generation of graphical ...  Read the complete review

NetFusion is a web authoring package, whose aim is to make webpages as easy as possible to achieve. It doesn't manage this quite as well as you might think, but it is true to say that NetObjects will do most things you want it to do. First of, it is a powerful expensive program, retailing at about £200-odd pounds. There aer ways round this - some domain names companies give this software free if you sign up to them - e.g. oneandone. Also, you can get earlier versions given away with magazines. However, you don;t get the manuals, and you REALLY do need manuals for this product. You can create websites based around templates. Basically you create your ...  Read the complete review

I first heard about this product when I was looking for a job at this company my friend worked at. They want you to have experience with Dreamweaver, asp, php skills and Have had used NetObjects. So i went in search of this product. When i read up on it was interested at the speed people seemed to be able to make sites at. "Had my first site made in 2 hours" etc. So after downloading and installing it was first put off at the first notice that poped up on the screen. "to get the most out of netobjects download the add on files now" So Ive just downloaded a 56mb package and the instaltion still inst finnnished? I was thinking this MUST be good. Anyway ...  Read the complete review

NetObjects Fusion is a tool for creating template driven websites — not web pages — websites. The primary target is for small businesses who don't wish to get their hands dirty with the design process. NetObjects claims that the Fusion is the "fastest, easiest way to build business web sites". There is no doubt in that. For this review, I created a basic 5 page web site in approximately 5 minutes, with no previous understanding of the program. This product definitely succeeds at what it aims to do. The question still remains, is it a worthy product for you? This depends on who you are. Fusion is not for everybody. If you like ...  Read the complete review
