Why you need to upgrade to Fusion 11:
Code Generation- Semantic
XHTML Publishing:

pixel-exact code-generation engine was extended in version 11 to
support generation of Semantic XHTML.
Semantic code becomes ever more important as a means of improving
accessibility to content, be it for automated tools (search engines and
crawlers), alternate user interfaces (small form devices, speech
browsers for visually impaired people), content management systems and
more.
XML Data Integration:
Fusion 11 allows for the facile integration of data into web pages
from any XML data source. A simple point and click will select any
local or remote XML file (for example an RSS datafeed), and Fusion will
auto-discover the structure (schema) of the XML file, and allow for the
drag&drop insertion of the data fields into the design. Various
features for data iteration and pagination are provided/built-in.
AJAX User Interface
Components:
Fusion 11 integrates a complete set of AJAX
user interface elements (accordions, tabs, toggle panes, and wizards.)
which enable the rapid development of AJAX-powered web pages. Fusion 11
puts the creation of next-generation, modern and ergonomic web
documents in reach for all web designers ? taking it out of the
exclusive realm of JavaScript experts.

Components:
Fusion 11 bundles over 270 built-in multimedia
components and effects that allow for the simple and quick production
of animations with video, text, images and graphics. The
Timeline editor seamlessly extends the Fusion WYSIWYG
drag&drop editing environment, creating a simple, familiar yet
powerful interface from each anyone can create stunning animations in a
flash.

data-driven, interactive web sites, turning Fusion 11 into a Web
Application Development System and extending it's reach into the
high-end enterprise web development space.

span of web development, from simple static websites to highly
interactive, data-driven web sites.

web development technologies (HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax,
PHP, ASP, ASP.NET Coldfusion and JSP) as well as different levels of
user sophistication.
While novice users will find it a breeze
to develop a complete website using a vast array of built-in styles and
simple drag&drop, and letting the Fusion generation engine generate
HTML code with pixel-exact positioning, more advanced users will want
to take advantage of the built-in coding environment (supporting color
coding, line numbering and auto-completion for various web languages)
and advanced HTML object and CSS inspectors.
