App Review - Adobe Muze(Code Name)

I just came across Adobe Muse while surfing around the web. Abobe Muze is a new software for creating beautiful web pages without having any knowledge of the web programming. It includes support for scripts. The software is in its initial development stages. Initially released for Mac's, the product is now available for the Windows platform.

Installing it wasn't difficult, as it installs directly from the Adobe site. You need Adobe Air to make it work.

Here are two screenshots from the development phase




I made a very simple site, and in 5 minutes. Yes, it did take me around ten minutes to understand what the software environment was, but then got comfortable with it. The environment is slightly different than of Microsoft Frontpage or Yahoo Sitebuilder, but still user friendly. Being Adobe, the software gives a feeling of a flash player in motion. Nevertheless, it makes quite gud pages. Novice and professional web designers will love this program. And this is after the fact that Muse is just a codename, and the product is still in its initial stages.

The demo site i developed is online. Check the photo gallery tab for the software's beauty. You can check it by clicking Here . You can go directly at the photogallery at http://prattzz.freewebspace.com/the-photo-gallery.html

As you could have seen in the site, scripting is embedded in the program. So in case of building a customised site, the program gives quite a lot of options. Also, the gallery does support facebook'ish photo browsing, something that appealed me a lot.

My personal rating for Adobe Muse : 4.5 out of 5
