Based on the ground-breaking line of NetObjects Fusion website creation software, NetObjects Fusion Essentials gives consumers and small businesses the opportunity to build, promote, and manage their website with a flexible solution that adapts with the user as their needs and skills evolve.

NetObjects Fusion Essentials has built in e-commerce capabilities, an enhanced photo gallery and a sitestyles library that allows users of all experience levels to create comprehensive websites. NetObjects Fusion Essentials offers 6 easy-to-navigate views that make page creation, organisation and publication clear and concise. It also adheres to its legacy of providing users with a simple, drag-and-drop approach to web design that creates clean and stylish pages.

Additional web services such as hosting, marketing and lead generation, as well as additional shopping cart services with 1ShoppingCart.com can also be added during the application or design process.

Note that this free version is rather limited. You can either choose to enhance Essentials for $14.95, with added feature such as image manipulation, advanced navigation tools and an improved site wizard. Alternatively, you could upgrade to the full NetObjects Fusion 10 for $109.95.

You'll need to obtain a serial code to use Essentials. To do this, install the software and follow the instructions within the installer.
