Serif PagePlus

Desktop publishing (DTP) program. It was launched by Serif in 1990, with very powerful DTP features at a price of around 10% that of its competitors, and captured much of the home and small-business user markets.

Serif PagePlus adopted a flexible approach to controlling the display, creating a changebar that allowed real-time interaction with the items on screen. By the mid-1990s, it began offering users the option of creating publications specifically for the World Wide Web. By offering professional features at a low price, PagePlus bridged the gap between home-user DTP packages like Microsoft Publisher and the expensive professional packages such as QuarkXPress and Aldus PageMaker.
