Riverdeep and Virtual Mechanics Collaborate on Web Design Powerhouse

San Francisco, California and British Columbia, Canada (PRWEB) May 30, 2007

Riverdeep Inc. and Virtual Mechanics Inc. announced today that The Print Shop(r) Design Suite Professional Edition will include a web page and design component from Virtual Mechanics.

The new concept from Riverdeep includes a full set of creativity tools for personal and small business use, including The Print Shop Web Designer, which is powered by Virtual Mechanics' SiteSpinner(tm) technology. Like the SiteSpinner application, this Windows-based visual web site publisher is designed to be easy for beginners, but with powerful features that they can grow into. Its industry-standards compliant use of CSS enables pixel- precision WYSIWYG design that lets you position text, graphics, foreign objects and words exactly where you want them.

Additional layout enhancements include the ability to easily center a web site with the click of a button, or to place objects relative to the browser window, or to other objects on your page. With its built-in word processor, advanced layout options, and integrated graphics capabilities, it's easy to build stunning, professional looking web sites without having to learn HTML.

J. Peter White, President of Virtual Mechanics, said, "We're proud to partner with Riverdeep/Broderbund on this professional web design and publishing package. And we're proud that they're using our SiteSpinner technology in The Print Shop Design Suite Professional Edition. We look forward to an ongoing relationship, as we release and market more software packages with Riverdeep."

The Print Shop Design Suite has a suggested retail price of $199 and is available from Broderbund.com and select retailers.
