> The purpose

    The purpose of this program is to make it easy for anyone to distribute 
    their genealogy tree on the internet. Simply click once - and your tree 
    will be presented in nice, graphical web-pages, including any pictures 
    and additional information you have supplied. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Easy to use

    The tree editor is very easy to use. Just right-click anywhere, and you 
    will get a menu of the most common tasks. You can zoom in and out of your 
    tree, navigate, create items, connect children to their parents and much 
    more, using only your mouse. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Coming soon

    GenDesigner version 2.0 will soon be available. The upgrade supports both 
    import and export functions to the standard GedCom format. Future upgrades 
    will also include other export functions, i.e. to MS Word. You will also 
    be able to print your own family cronicle directly from GenDesigner.
