REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998-- NetObjects(TM), Inc. today announced NetObjects Fusion(TM) 3.0 for the Macintosh, bringing its award winning Web authoring product with over 150 new features and enhancements to Macintosh-based site-builders. NetObjects Fusion 3.0 was especially designed to fulfill the needs of the large number of Macintosh-based site builders looking to either build next-generation business Web sites or evolve their current sites to include business logic and functionality. Key new features of the product support the top needs of site builders creating business Web sites including database publishing, the addition of advanced interactive DHTML effects and the flexibility to either generate or hand-code HTML. NetObjects also announced that it is working with Apple Computer and FileMaker, Inc. on co-marketing collaboration for demand generation, solution development and channel activities in support of NetObjects Fusion 3.0.
