WebPlus 9 (List Price £59.99; Upgrade Price £39.99*) is the stunning new version of Serif’s Web package, comprehensively upgraded to offer a one-stop solution that brings powerful Web publishing tools within the reach of everyday computer users. Everyone wishing to put professional-looking sites on the Web easily, affordably and without complex HTML knowledge will find that WebPlus 9 exceeds all their expectations.

Exceptional new pre-designed sites provide users with a variety of templates that are fully customisable with impressive new Themed Graphic styles, enabling users to change the look of an entire site or elements, such as banners, buttons, headers and navigation bars, with a single click. Site structure is now hierarchical in WebPlus 9 and an improved Studio vastly aids site management. Brand new Navigation Bars and Menus, which are easily inserted with only one click, automatically match the site’s structure for instant intuitive navigation.

The new Live Preview tab allows users to quickly assess their sites at different screen sizes and WebPlus 9 also provides options to preview sites in any browser installed on the PC. Further increasing productivity, the Hyperlink, Font and Image Managers have all been improved to offer a more streamlined way to handle site components. A number of new image-handling capabilities offer a more efficient way of working, including intelligent re-sizing of imported images to perfectly balance quality and download time. Plus, new to WebPlus 9 are incremental site uploads, which allow users to upload small sections that have been changed rather than the entire site each time.

Providing an easy route to the Web, this latest version of WebPlus offers users a 30-day free Web space trial of 25Mb, taking the hassle out of finding an Internet service provider to host sites created in WebPlus 9. Exclusive Serif customer rates will then be available to any users who wish to upgrade after the trial period has ended.

A range of drawing, design and text features, including new Object Styles, Instant 3D, Colour Picker tool, Mesh Warping and new Shockwave/Flash support will greatly aid the creation of striking Web content. Plus, users can now import HTML from other sites to create exactly the look they want without having to do all the design work from scratch.

WebPlus 9 is an exciting release that caters for Web publishing novices but also provides enough power and flexibility for more experienced designers to build professional-looking sites from the ground up.

"There’s a real buzz here about this package as we believe that no other Web publishing package allows the creation of such high quality sites so easily and at this price it’s exceptionally good value for money,” said Gary Bates, Serif’s Joint Managing Director. “This version really does take WebPlus into a new era and we are confident that it’s going to be a popular choice for everyone who wants to get on the Web with minimal effort."

The WebPlus 9 package contains:

• Serif WebPlus 9 – (CD and companion)
• Serif WebPlus 9 Resource CD – (CD containing an additional 60 Web Templates, 7 Tutorials,   231 Object Styles and WebArt containing hundreds of extra Photos, GIFs and animated GIFs.)

* Owners of other Serif software titles will be able to purchase WebPlus 9 for £39.99.
