Adobe offers two apps for website creation: Dreamweaver and Adobe Muse.
Dreamweaver and Muse can both be used to create responsive websites that users can view across any popular desktop, tablet, or smartphone browser; design your site from scratch; and publish them in the same tool. But the ways to do these tasks are different in each app. Let's take a look.
With Muse, you can use a free-form approach for designing responsive websites in which you are limited only to your imagination. Muse provides a design service with an interface that feels familiar with other Adobe apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign that you can use to create modern web designs and visual effects such as slide shows, scroll motion effects, contact forms, and animated transitions without writing any code.
Free-form design means that your creativity is not limited by the constraints of the web. Drag and drop design elements and use intuitive widgets and dialogues to configure layout and functionality. Muse is great for quickly designing and publishing beautiful websites of any type, whether you're building your own site or for someone else. Once you finish the design, Muse creates a production-ready website. If you're making sites for clients, you can also give them access to make basic edits.
Dreamweaver has both a visual design surface and a code editor for designers who understand HTML and CSS. When you design web pages in Dreamweaver, the page structure is defined by HTML while the layout and styling is defined by CSS. Dreamweaver uses the popular Bootstrap framework for responsive design and includes a variety of tools like code snippets, real-time error checking, and auto-complete that help you code more efficiently.
Access the code at any time during your design process. The code and design are integrated so that when you make a change in the code, you can immediately see that change take effect in your design and vice versa.
Dreamweaver is great for designing and publishing larger websites, such as for a major client, or leveraging other open source technologies, such as JavaScript, PHP, or connecting to a database.
In summary, Adobe provides two tools for web design and production. Dreamweaver requires code and Muse does not. So you can be successful publishing to the web no matter how you choose to create. Both integrate with Creative Cloud services, such as Adobe Stock where you can search from millions of high quality images, videos, and other graphics to enhance your designs; or Creative Cloud Libraries where you can share Creative assets with your team or access your Library items wherever you work.
