Coolmaps.com Teams with NetObjects to Offer Instant Form Handling Web Service
Santa Barbara, Calif., July 17, 2001—coolmaps.com announced today that it has teamed with NetObjects (NASDAQ: NETO) to deliver its InForm family of Web services within NetObjects Fusion MX, the leading small business website building solution. Together, coolmaps.com and NetObjects will provide customers with a quick, easy and cost effective way to gather, store, organize, and utilize the information visitors enter into a form on their website. Examples of the type of information that can be gathered from visitors include on-line orders, customer service requests, product inquiries, and visitor profiles.
Customers using NetObjects Fusion MX can purchase, install, and configure the InForm family of Web services directly from the NetObjects Fusion MX toolbar. All this is done without leaving the NetObjects Fusion MX environment. InForm collects information from a submitted form and emails it to the site administrator. It can also send auto-replies to form submitters, check for required fields, and forward the information to multiple recipients.
"We are very excited that NetObjects Fusion users now have easier access to our cool form handling service," said Tal Avitzur, President of coolmaps.com. "Our users want to build great websites and spend less time doing it. The full integration of InForm into NetObjects Fusion MX is a big leap toward that goal."
InForm upgrades allow NetObjects Fusion MX users to store collected information on a coolmaps.com server for future download into a local spreadsheet, and to send out newsletters to all the users who have submitted forms.
“The ability to integrate web services into NetObjects Fusion MX provides coolmaps.com with a great opportunity to reach our customers”, said Avitzur, “A simple click on a toolbar allows users to purchase, install, and configure our hosted services. Customers are finding us easier and finding us easier to use.”
NetObjects Fusion is a complete website creation solution designed to provide an easy way to build robust websites. More than five million websites have been built using NetObjects Fusion.
“We are pleased to work with coolmaps.com to introduce InForm as the newest service available in NetObjects Fusion MX”, said Steve Smith, NetObjects Director of Product Management. “coolmaps.com components have been a big hit with NetObjects customers for years. The new InForm service combines incredible ease of use with a great price. With its drag and drop simplicity, and powerful add-on functionality, we will be able to help customers get their forms up and running much faster than before.”

InForm is available today to NetObjects Fusion MX customers. A one-year subscription costs $19 for members of the Coolmaps Components Club and $29 for non-members. There is a seven-day free trial available for customers signing up directly from NetObjects Fusion MX.
