In 2016, following the release of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for Windows, Serif ceased development for their 'Plus' product range to focus exclusively on the Affinity product range. This was followed in 2015 by the second Affinity product (and successor to PhotoPlus), Affinity Photo (a photo editing & design package). It was Serif's first product for macOS, and had been written from scratch specifically for it. The successor to their DrawPlus product, Affinity Designer (a vector art & design package), was launched in 2014 for macOS. In 1996, Serif was acquired by American company Vizacom (formerly known as Allegro New Media) however, ownership was sold back to Serif senior management in 2001. In subsequent years, this was accompanied by other software products in the 'Plus' range, including DrawPlus (1994), PhotoPlus (1999), WebPlus (2000), and MoviePlus (2003). This was expanded in 1990 with their follow-up, PagePlus (originally for Windows 3.0), which would go on to win 'Best Software' at the Computer Shopper Awards 2014. The first Serif product to be released was called PageStar: a simple, low-cost advertisement layout program for Windows 2.0.
