Image Manipulation Tool

And now you can exclude pages from the navigation structure, allowing you to access custom pages and pop-up pages that don’t appear in your site’s main navigation.

Your site's navigation can now expand several layers deep directly from the home page, or any page.

The new breadcrumb navigation feature helps visitors quickly navigate back through your site without requiring them to use the back button. NetObjects Fusion 8 takes your site, and your visitors, further than ever before.

Selections Grouping NetObjects Fusion Makes Site-Building Even Faster

To help you build and maintain consistent and attractive Web sites, we have improved the way NetObjects Fusion handles items on your page. Now multiple items like text blocks, images, etc., can be grouped together to help increase your productivity. When you perform an action on a group of items, every item contained in the group will be affected in the same manner. This makes alignment, formatting, moving and copying entire groups to different pages, effortless. In addition, individual items, as well as groups, can now be locked to help minimize accidental moving, formatting or deletion.
