Sometimes when I am on the road, I don't have all my tools with me. The
other day I realized I needed to design a piece of marketing collateral for a
client, and I did not have Pagemaker installed on my laptop. What's a busy
designer to do?
Well, after fretting for a few moments, I decided to call on old faithful
-- Serif Software. This UK based software and marketing company have clones of
just about every piece of productivity software you could need from photo
editing and manipulation, graphic design and page composition, and web
development tools.
I first used their tools over a decade ago when Pagemaker was out of my
league. Today their tools are stronger than ever and get this -- only $9.95
for a fully registered version or free for a less powerful version!
Here's what you get for $9.95: one helluva of a powerful
desktop publishing program with features you would normally expect to find
only in top-shelf software -- well, like Pagemaker.
With Serif
PagePlus you can quickly start with a template and their design wizard
or do it all yourself from scratch. Within a matter of minutes I was able to
create a three-panel brochure - in color - with graphics - and a good looking
and easy to read type treatment.
Could you really use Serif
PagePlus to handle all of your marketing needs? I think so. Pagemaker
may always be the desktop publishing tools preferred by professionals, but
it's expensive and slow and difficult to learn. This lower priced alternative
gives you tremendous value for just $9.95 and all of the power of its larger
cousin.
