You are restricted to Adobe Muse and Adobe always for updating the website.ĭoes not support dynamic elements or more complex interactions or something that you want to do out of the box. Integrated well with Adobe suite of tools, you can import and export from Photoshop easilyĪdobe( I think) also has hosting plans, so seamless updating of website as well.Ĭode generated is unreadable and not maintainable. No programming knowledge needed to create a webpage.Įxport button so that you can host website somewhere else as well. I went from using Adobe Muse to hand creating my own websites. Any updates could potentially be very expensive. Just make sure you learn and understand how it works and the limitations, and communicate to your client that once it's done it's done. And I'm glad that I didn't use Muse, although if and when I get back into freelancing I will consider it if I get any small jobs to do. I was happy with the results, and it's responsive and can be updated anywhere and I didn't have to touch any code. But then I just spent the whole long weekend building my site in Wordpress using the Layers theme, learning as I went along, and although I couldn't get it to do exactly what I wanted, I got the site done and it's not bad (I figured potential employers or clients aren't concerned about a motion graphic designer's website being perfect). I considered using Muse just so that I could get it done quickly.
But I needed to build a site for my portfolio (motion graphics). With that said, I got out of web design a long time ago and couldn't believe how much it has changed.
#CLIENT INTERFACE ADOBE MUSE WEBSITES UPDATE#
So although it works, it's more for inexpensive one off sites that don't require a lot of updating.īut from the changes I've seen in web design and development over the years, it looks like a lot of clients require that they need to be able to go in and update their own content themselves which is a reason why Wordpress is so popular.
#CLIENT INTERFACE ADOBE MUSE WEBSITES CODE#
The code it generates is a mess so it would be difficult (and possibly expensive) to get a developer to maintain it. My understanding is that Muse is good for designers who don't code much but want to get sites up quickly. I greatly appreciate any and all advice on the matter. My question to designers/developers out there who have before or actively use Adobe Muse to build websites: what are the (if any) drawbacks/pitfalls? Specifically, what are the hiccups and little things you wish you knew going into using Muse that can help me avoid tedious and time consuming mistakes? I've read a lot about lack of broad customizability, but if I can build a fully functional website with moving parts and animation, that's good enough for me. Since I no longer have access to a back end developer, I started playing with Muse and in general, I feel like it's too good to be true. Recently, I picked up a new gig that gives me access (with my boss' blessing, alleluia) to a whole slew of potential clients that I can design sites for. I enjoy design, I do not enjoy programming. I don't know tons of programming, but I know enough to get by-I can backwards engineer things and piece together what goes where, but I'd rather not. I've been doing the front end design of websites via Photoshop for a couple of years now, and usually I've had a developer to collaborate with.
