Business Wire, August 5, 1996

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1996--Claris Corporation today announced that Claris Home Page software, its easy-to-use web authoring solution for novices and experienced users, is now shipping for both Macintosh and Windows users at an estimated retail price of $99.

As an added bonus, all Claris Home Page purchasers will receive a coupon good for up to six months of free web hosting for their Claris Home Pages. First shipments of the product will go on sale at MACWORLD EXPO in Boston August 7.

Claris Home Page has already gained widespread popularity and acclaim among over 50,000 beta users, who have downloaded Claris Home Page software from Claris web site. It is among the first web authoring solutions that truly demystifies web authoring by not requiring HTML coding expertise, placing web page creation directly into the hands of general users who wish to create and maintain their own web pages.

At the same time, Claris Home Page is for experienced web masters, who want to quicken the pace of their web page creation productivity with a solution feature set not currently found elsewhere on the market.

Beta testers say, "It Rocks!"

"This is far and away the best HTML editor so far." Mark Staben mstaben@proaxis.com

"I found it to be just what I've always wanted in a web editor, and more. It's very easy to use and saves me a lot of time as I used to write the HTML from scratch. It is flexible enough that I can view the document source at any time and make changes or additions to it directly." Alexandra Yung Creative Director DBZ Ltd., Hong Kong

"Claris Home Page is the first I have seen that is not only easy for beginners but also useful for large-scale Web development. Its easy interfaces for complex HTML tables and frames allow us to focus more attention on content and less on markup. Home Page finally delivers on the promise of a powerful HTML editor with the ease of use of a word processor." Jon Wiederspan VP of Technical Services ComVista, Inc. Bellevue, WA 98005

Claris Home Page will be available through authorized resellers at an estimated retail price of $99 and estimated education retail price of $79. Users of competitive web authoring software applications qualify for a $20 rebate ($10 rebate for education retail price buyers) direct from Claris with proof of purchase.

Users may continue to download previous time-limited beta versions of Claris Home Page free of charge through mid-August. After that time, web browsers may download free trial software versions of the software from the Claris World Wide Web page at http://www.claris.com.
