DigitalStyle

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

DigitalStyle was a small privately held software company in

Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, California.[1] It was founded in 1995 by refugees from the failed software company Pages including Rick Gessner, Peter Linss, Greg Kostello, and James Hamerly.[2] Additional talent for DigitalStyle came from a Xerox
spinoff Chrystal Software including Steve Clark, Beth Epperson, and Don Vale.

Its flagship product, WebSuite, was a leading web site creation tool in the late 1990s. WebSuite provided advanced graphics and web page editing capabilities for novice authors, though it was also powerful enough for advanced authors.

DigitalStyle was acquired by

Gecko layout engine that powers many of the products under the Mozilla[7] open source umbrella such as Firefox
.
