  • Muse - Life After Webplus
    Muse - Life after WebPlus A possible solution Introduction This guide isn’t intended as a full-blown tutorial on how to use Adobe Muse. It’s intended to highlight some of the similarities and differences between WebPlus and Muse. The idea is to dispel many of the notions and theories that, somehow, creating a website in a responsive development application restricts your design freedoms. As will be seen, Muse can produce websites with the same eases and virtually all the features that WebPlus users have become familiar with. To illustrate the point, I’ve used a very simple (albeit old fashioned) site design that could just have easily been created in WebPlus. Many of the tools and features in Muse will already be familiar to WebPlus users - the only real difference is the layout and style of the user interface - no big deal, right? Neither is this guide intended to spark a debate about the use of subscription-based web development tools. The fact is, if you create websites for other people (presumably for money) then you have to go beyond WebPlus or get left behind. Whilst there are a number of other options, such as framework driven environments and other stand-alone applications. there are few that I’ve seen that come anywhere near as close to the design flexibility that WebPlus users have enjoyed. However, Muse does fit the bill. The only thing that’s really missing is the quick shapes. Everything else is there, only tucked away in a different user interface. Things like Assets are called widgets in Muse and there are hundred of them out there to download - some free, some paid for.
