IBand

iBand Inc. was an early web development software company based in Campbell, California.

History
In December 1995, iBand announced its Backstage line of web site development tools for Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. Beta testing for Windows 95 and NT began in March 1996.

Acquisition
iBand and its product line were acquired by Macromedia on March 13, 1996 in exchange for 860,000 shares of Macromedia stock valued at US$ 32 million. Version 1.0 of Macromedia Backstage Desktop Studio and Enterprise Studio were released as part of a trial beta program in April 1996 and shipped on April 29 and July 1, respectively.
