Adobe Muse

Adobe Muse is Adobes way of letting designers and people with no experience of code be able to create web sites with ease. In my opinion, I like to think of this as a much friendlier and easier version of Dreamweaver but lacks the possibilities you could make with actually having experience in writing in HTML for example. In this unit, we will be expected to use this application to create our own sites later on.

Another analogy of this would be it’s like a bike but with training wheels, its easier and a lot more user friendly until you can move onto bigger things and writing code up in Dreamweaver to construct and create websites.

Despite what I’ve said above, Muse is still a completely free-form tool, you’re able to create visually appealing pages and websites as well as express your idea’s in an easily made way that anyone can do with little to no experience.

This isn’t the only thing though because Muse also allows you to have instant access to your installed fonts, different colours, all your vector graphics, images and stock photos. All of this allows you to create the site you want to create whilst still keeping everything simple and easy to understand that anyone can do it.

In the future Adobe has also promised and is close to releasing a new version of Adobe Muse which will allow the user of the program to create a website that has a responsive web design. This doesn’t mean that the website will respond when you ask it to or click on a button or something but means your website will be usable on a range of different browsers and devices.

These devices include everything from your computer, mac, tablet and also mobile. It also means that the site will be able to be displayed on different web browsers such as Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer to name a few. Its worth also mentioning that what operating system you’ll be using wont matter. You’ll be able to view the website on anything from Windows, IOS, Android and different versions of Linux.
