SiteMill Web site management software for Macintosh . With a suggested

Maintaining links in a Web site, a process commonly performed manually by
Webmasters, is one of the most tedious and error-prone site management
chores. Adobe SiteMill software helps Webmasters become more efficient by
automating the process of checking for and correcting broken links. In
addition, Adobe SiteMill includes the easy-to-use, WYSIWYG authoring
capabilities of Adobe PageMill, as well as a large collection of clip art
and ready-to-use images for Web publishing.

"Adobe SiteMill has made World Wide Web creation and management
astonishingly easy and fast to learn," said Turtle Heart, founder of the
American Indian Computer Art project, a World Wide Web site about Native
American culture and art. "I have a pretty layered site. With Adobe
SiteMill, I was inside the management and comprehension of my site at
another level within moments --my site is much more directly organized
now."

In a related announcement, Adobe disclosed that the suggested retail price
for Adobe PageMill software will be $149 as of February 1, 1996. A special
introductory price of $99 for Adobe PageMill will continue to be in effect
until January 31, 1996.

Automated Site Management

Adobe SiteMill displays all site resources including pages, images,
directories, scripts, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files and other
files. Users can paste links, rename files, or move files between folders
and Adobe SiteMill software will automatically repair all links so that

Adobe SiteMill software can also screen preexisting Web sites for errors.
The Error view shows all dangling links and allows for an easy , one-step
correction. Users simply drag the correct file over the error and all
incorrect references are fixed. With the External References view, Adobe
SiteMill conveniently displays all links to pages outside of the original
Web site. The External References view makes updating external references
all across a site very simple. Links to an external site can be created by
dragging the reference from the External References view into any page.

Adobe SiteMill includes all the powerful Web page authoring features found
in Adobe PageMill web authoring software, including
what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) Web page editing, integrated image
manipulation and format conversion. The program tightly integrates the
Site view and the Page Editing view, allowing users to create new links by
simply dragging a file or an image icon from the Site view into the Page
view. Neither the uniform resource locator (URL) link addressing scheme or
the page pathname syntax is needed.

System 7.1 or later, 3.5 megabytes (MB) of unused RAM, 5 MB of unused hard
