RAGE MapDesign provides a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) user interface that allows web developers to visually add hot spots to a single image file which links to multiple web pages. Using standards based CSS, RAGE MapDesign lets users define mouse over and mouse down transitions adding slick visual effects which are compatible with virtually every web browser and operating system. RAGE MapDesign generates all the necessary code so previous knowledge of CSS or HTML is not required.
