The intuitive, visual environment offers point-and-click simplicity—no more complicated forms to make simple updates. Grow your small business using professionally designed Starter Pages and PayPal Merchant Tools for e-commerce to enhance the value of your website.

Easiest software for non-programmers to publish
professional web pages and e-books!
Cool Page™ is easy for beginners and powerful for business.
More importantly, designing with Cool Page™ is fast, fun, and creative-- no HTML or programming needed. Perfect for people who rather finish early and go to the beach!
Most web page creation or html programs claim WYSIWYG. However they do not have Cool Page's unique, drag-and-drop freely, pixel-accurate, on-the-page editing in WYSIWYG, positioning, and overlap. Amazingly Cool Page™ retains 100% compatibility with all browsers. FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc. can not do this. For example, the golden "Cool Page" logo at top of this page is accurately positioned font characters, not an image!
Cool Page™ also exports pages in HTML format, thus useful as tool for rapid HTML layout. Cool Page™ can even submit your pages to search engines, and has a drag+ drop HTML object for inserting HTML.
