One nice benefit of the program is that graphics saved in the program's native .NSO file type are not flattened, meaning they can be opened later and re-edited. To keep that ability, graphics can be saved in both .NSO and the file type desired for the Web page. NetStudio's drawing tools are also varied, allowing anything from a straight line to curved pieces that can be used to make nice looking navigational tools in a heartbeat. Graphics made up of several elements are not grouped, but remain together when saved. Further, while the program comes with many styles, the user is not restricted to one style or elements within a graphic.
All styles can be mixed and matched to get the desired result.
The startup screen gives the user a choice of creating a banner, button, or fancy text and then directs the process step by step. Select one of these, and templates pop up giving the user hundreds of choices to create professional looking items with ease. At startup the user may choose to open an existing document, start with a blank page, or begin with one of the hundreds of templates included with the program. Transparency is easily created, although NetStudio's transparency is more of a fading effect, allowing type or other items to easily be shown in front of a background. White space around graphics is trimmed automatically upon saving, so the user wishing to have extra white space needs to create a border around the image to preserve the space.
