Hi there,
Sorry, I get also a headache from Adobe Muse to create my landing page! (after dreamweaver and doing it by hand). Looked around on the forum and found two other programs:
-BlueGriffon and wysiwygwebbuilder.
What are your experiences with these programs? Which one should I pick and why?
Cheers,
PIM
anyone?
Muse is about as WYSIWYG as you can get... I don't think the other programs will be any easier if you find Muse difficult.
What kind of landing page are you trying to make? Muse is good for some things but not for others e.g. long sales pages.
Thanks zeno.
Muse is amazing, but it is very hard to make it responsive to different phones, ie it is hard to handcode the code. Got the feeling that it is required....
Muse is not really made for making responsive landers.
If that's what you want there are several options:
- Adobe Edge Reflow
- Macaw
- Webflow
These have media queries which allow you to change the page layout for specific device sizes. However.... Reflow is not in a production state and doesn't produce very clean HTML, Macaw is a bit buggy since it has only just been released, and Weflow to the best of my knowledge only has predefined media queries i.e. page widths (desktop, tablet, smartphone).
There doesn't seem to be any king of the hill yet!
At the moment I would recommend testing these apps and relying on em font sizes and % sizes of page elements so that things squish/expand with the page width.
I just tried wysiwygwebbuilder, it is clearly the best I found up till now.
Cheers.
wysiwygwebbuilder is good for responsive stuff? Interesting! I shall check it out.
