Flux

Tried it for an hour or so and purchased immediately. The WYSWYG editing view renders existing CSS based webpage layouts surprisingly accurately, while giving me a complete control over HTML/PHP/CSS code. In a way it's basically like Firefox with Web Developer plug-in's CSS layout "Outline" feature with drag & drop editing capability added to it, a DOM inspector along with Dreamweaver-ish Code View - Design View integration. You click on any elements in WYSWYG and it would take you straight to the actual code when the code window is open. Even CSS-based multilevel menu works in WYSWYG editing menu. Double-click on a DIV tag in WYSWYG view and it would bring up a window for click-and-select easy editing. I find this kind of decent CSS layout visualization WITH editing capability (not just preview or rendering common among coder-centric editors) a godsend for visual oriented developers. Unlike Rapidweaver, iWeb, Sandvox and Freeway, it can work with any existing generic CSS-based web sites created in other applications without any special modifications, simply by dragging and dropping a folder containing HTML/CSS files onto Flux icon, (just like BBEdit, Coda, etc.) It does a pretty decent job of not breaking any existing codes written outside the program. I was able to download a few free CSS design templates (Template Monster, etc.) and use it in Flux to quickly create a whole web site without any problems, and I was also able to use a Flux-generated site in Dreamweaver without doing any additional tweaks. This program can be used in conjunction with other tools. It still has a way to go in fully supporting CMS WYSWYG layout editing such as WordPress, etc. but it looks like it's getting there, and I think it might grow to become a "Dreamweaver killer" on the Mac in the future. Either way, it does a fantastic job as a v.2.x product, and it has a huge potential. Great value for the money, a welcome addition to my toolkit. Strongly recommended.

Although I bought this software as a full version, I switched to Pinegrow.

The user interface is simply too confusing and not very intuitive. I never had the impression that I could ever use the software properly.

Name conflict with F.lux app (https://justgetflux.com) when putting into /Applications. Might be worth addressing this because it is frustrating.

Flux 6 outputs fantastic html/css code, you'll almost think it was handwritten. Kudos to the team, they totally built an app that rivals others.

Learning to code HTML/CSS/Bootstrap is far easier and faster than trying to figure out how to use this piece of software properly. I don’t see a point of spending $100 to make my workflow more confusing and convoluted. Enough said, and yes, it's that bad.

Really expensive upgrades!

One of the best software trailers, ever. Might bring me back to using Flux. Currently, Pinegrow has me with their WordPress kit.

How to I purchase an upgrade from V4 to V6?

I used Flux for a while to learn how it did what it did. I also wanted to compare the flow of Dreamweaver vs. Flux vs. Rapidweaver. Clients were asking for web sites and I had to figure out what was easiest to use. For modifying Wordpress, Dreamweaver. For building ready-made sites from templates, Rapidweaver. I never did figure out where Flux fit. So I stopped using it. Then, just recently, they started SPAMVERTIZING their products to the former customers. I explicitly said "Don't contact me" and up until recently, they didn't. I figured they hired some new marketing person who didn't understand "opt-out" or thought there was a statue of limitation on it. They sent me SPAM twice despite saying "We only send email" on their Twitter feed. I looked at their web site and that explains a lot. They also sell a tool to do bulk emailing. So I guess they were dogfooding. I'll steer clear of this company and their products from now on.

The current version, which MacUpdate installs, is 6.0.25 (not the version "6.0.24" stated above)
