Serif Launches Desktop
Internet Design Suite
New version offers powerful Web publishing tools to everyone
Serif (Europe) Ltd – the UK’s leading independent desktop publishing, design and graphics software developer – today announced the launch of Desktop Internet Design Suite into retail.
Serif Desktop Internet Design Suite (RRP £49.99) offers an affordable way for anyone to create striking graphically-rich websites, without needing previous web design experience. Containing three programs from Serif’s powerful, yet easy-to-use range of creative software, including their WYSIWYG web designer, powerful digital imaging program and accessible 3D Graphics program, creating high impact websites has never been so fun.
Serif Desktop Internet Design Suite contains:
WebPlus 9 – DTP-style design tools allow anyone to quickly lay out the text and graphics for their website and WebPlus 9 does all the tricky behind the scenes coding and file management.
Navigation bars automatically reflect the site structure, so users can concentrate on getting content into their website without getting tied up with confusing navigation issues. The accessible interface, easy-to-use tools and great preset design objects make it simple to have a website up and running in just two hours.
PhotoPlus 9 – Advanced-level image-editing tools make it easy for anyone to import, edit and export image files, whether for printing, sharing via email or uploading to the Web.
Photos can be tweaked easily, so that common photographic problems such as red-eye can be corrected quickly, or altered dramatically using features such as Instant Artist, to create striking graphical effects. A powerful digital darkroom, PhotoPlus gives users the confidence to get the best out of their digital images.
ImpactPlus 4 – Whether users need to add impact to printed work, home movies, presentations or websites, ImpactPlus 4 has all the intuitive tools needed to create high quality 3D designs and animations with ease. And, with the ability to import industry standard 3D models from the Internet, the design possibilities are virtually limitless.
Bonus Resource Pack – Containing printed user guides, as well as a wealth of extra Tutorials, Wizards, Web Templates, Web Art, Samples, Photos, picture brushes, Instant Effects, 3D Models and more on three CDs, users will have all the help and resources they need to create high impact websites in no time.
Internet Design Suite users will receive FREE Technical Support and special upgrade pricing offers, as well as WebManager, for browsing images easily, and Learn Web Publishing CD, containing 9 structured video lessons, as a bonus when they register their purchase with Serif.
“Desktop Internet Design Suite is an incredibly easy way to get into web design without having to worry about writing any HTML code”, said Gary Bates, Serif’s Managing Director. “This Suite offers exceptional value-for-money for PC users who would like to publish their holiday snaps, information on a hobby or club, or even represent their business online, quickly and easily.”
