Here´s what reviewers are saying about NetObjects Fusion.
Boardwatch Magazine, September 2000
“The marketers at NetObjects no longer position Fusion as a WYSIWYG tool for professional designers. Instead, they’re now targeting Fusion at a much larger (and potentially more lucrative) audience including small businesses that want professional-looking sites but don’t have Fortune 500 design budgets, designers and other suppliers(such as ISPs) that build Web sites for them.”
InternetNews, July 5, 2000
“We can accomplish our goal with a powerful combination of DellHost's customer focus and NetObjects leading Web technology,” Samir Arora said. “This agreement marks an important occasion as we work with partners to create innovative distribution methods that make productive Web solutions readily available to the more than 18 million small businesses.”

In a distribution deal similar to the one NetObjects inked with IBM in May, the software company struck a deal with Dell Computer to offer the Web site design maker´s Fusion software on Dell's computers.

 REVIEWS AND ARTICLES ABOUT NETOBJECTS FUSION
BusinessWeek, June 26, 2000 “NetObjects Fusion 5.0 for Windows turned out to be the perfect program for anyone who wants to design a businesslike Web site without hiring expensive talent or investing a huge amount of time in learning how to use a fancy program.”
BusinessWeek, June 16, 2000 “FrontPage is a perfectly good product, but it´s far from best of breed. Although it offers capabilities very similar to those of NetObjects Fusion 5.0, I found it much less intuitive and considerably more difficult to use.”
Computer Shopper, June 7, 2000 “NetObjects Fusion 5.0's greatest strength is its ability to design the overall Web site, not individual pages. The tools provided for working from a top-down view on intricate sites are the best of the lot. Fusion has an excellent interface for adding large numbers of pages in one fell swoop, and then adding the content later.”
PC Magazine, May 16, 2000 “Improvements such as the ability to view and edit code, better support for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and advice on everything from planning to promoting your site make NetObjects Fusion 5.0 ($300 street) the Web site editor of choice for home and small-business users.”
