E-commerce technology provider Actinic (actinic.co.uk) announced it is offering a new suite of products specifically designed for Web designers. Headed by Actinic Designer and supported by Actinic Catalog Client and Actinic Business Client, the suite is based on the new version 8 of Actinic's desktop e-commerce solution.

Actinic Designer has a new design interface, integrates with Dreamweaver and offers Web designers a cost effective, flexible tool set for producing multiple e-commerce sites for clients. Having received a government SMART award, Actinic says it was able to completely re-engineer the software. Version 8 now features a new WYSIWYG "design view," with point-and-click selection of both design and content objects.

The company's existing e-commerce solutions for self-builders, Actinic Catalog and Actinic Business, feature a new point-and-click design interface and enable full control of design and functional elements. The whole v8 range – Designer, Clients and self-build products – introduces a variety of new features.

"Web designers have told us that they want more control over the design and functionality of the e-commerce sites they deploy, and they want to brand them as their own," says Phil Rothwell, Actinic managing director. "With this new range of products, we are providing Web designers with what they need to produce the sites their clients require, at a price they can afford."
