Software Reviews of NetObjects Fusion 7

Customer Review: GREAT software!
Summary: 5 Stars

I HIGHLY recommend this product. I was a Fusion MX user and upgraded to 7.0 3 months ago. This is hands down the best web-design tool. I learned web design the NetObjects way. Now I have Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive and I almost exclusively use NetObjects Fusion 7. It is FASTER, EASIER to understand, and LOGICAL. Easily the most logical web-design software I have used. Fusion 7 is way more than adequate for 90% of all individual, small business (and most large business) websites. The best thing is virtually anyone can learn to use it almost immediately and after using it for a couple of weeks you will be a virtuoso. Of all software I have used (not just for web design, but across the board) this has been the most pleasant surprise ever.

Customer Review: A major upgrade for stability and productivity
Summary: 5 Stars

- and a minor one for new features. I started out with Fusion MX a couple of years ago and upgraded on the day I got the offer.

The user interface is greatly improved, as is stability. In fact it is an effective package for creating AND maintaining even complexly structured web sites. My two primary sites are 150 and 50 pages, and changing the structure is easy and effective.

The few downsides are un upload (ftp)-feature that does not allow only to upload truly changed pages, and that large clunks of Excel data will make the files unstable. Or maybe I just I haven't found the way to do it right. The database-facility is rudimentary. The final point is that the html files produced should have been leaner.

I actually enjoy working with Fusion 7 because it is heavily focused on getting the job done, and it does it, and very nicely, too!

Much appreciated and heavily recommended.

Customer Review: Great product; but few new features in upgrade
Summary: 4 Stars

NetObjects is a great product. You really can have a site in about 30 minutes. This upgrade, however, was a disappointment because no significant features were added.

Pros. You can design a model site quickly. NetObjects is a menu driven system that is easy to use. No need to worry about initially designing graphics because NetObjects provides templates for your border and navigation bar. You can easily change from one template to another. Add a new page and NetObjects automatically changes the navigation bar and links. You can do rollovers, hotspots, ticker tape, form buttons and more without coding. I very rarely have to refer to a manual.

Cons. The upgrade feature I was most interested in was the multi-level navigation bars. They have little flexibility, however, so I still rely on other sources, such as ...components, for extra functionality. Product support is poor, as I have emailed NetObjects but never received a reply. The 40 new sitestyles (templates) are not very original. ...
