Dreamweaver vs adobe muse (6)
I don't have too much experience with either. I need to learn how to create landing pages. Before I dive into this I would like to get everyone opinion. Which program should I start learning on?
They are completely different in terms of what they offer.
Dreamweaver for the most part is a code-editing program.
Muse is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor, i.e. you deal with visual elements and the code is generated for you on the back end.
You do not edit code in Muse. Likewise you do not really create layouts by dragging and dropping images, text boxes and buttons in Dreamweaver.
If you have little experience then the path is clear: Use Adobe Muse to create layouts, then export those to HTML. Afterward, edit the code in SublimeText, Notepad++, Edge Code or Dreamweaver - it's up to you.
Unless you have a very good handle on HTML/CSS coding, it is not sensible to try and build desktop landers from scratch.
ok so what your saying is...
I see a lander I like from my competitor. I want to use it as a template. I visually look at it and open muse, I try to create my own version in muse and then export it to HTML (how?). Then I edit the code in dreamweaver? What would I be editing though if your telling me that I need to use muse to create "layouts". Could you please elaborate..

I went through the Lynda.com tutorials for Muse over the weekend and was able to build a complete website in just a couple hours. Had never used it before
