Overview

Note: Muse CC 2018 is no longer under development and the developer provides no support for it.

Adobe Muse 2018 enables designers to create websites as easily as creating a layout for print. Design and publish original HTML pages using the latest Web standards, and without writing code. Now in beta, Muse makes it a snap to produce unique, professional-looking websites.

Features

Plan your project - Easy-to-use sitemaps, master pages, and a host of flexible, site-wide tools make it fast and intuitive to get your site planned out and ready for design.
Design your pages - Combine imagery, graphics and text with complete control, flexibility and power (almost as if you were using Adobe InDesign).
Add interactivity - Drag-and-drop fully customizable widgets like navigation menus and slide shows, embed HTML code snippets to include things like Google Maps, enable tool tips, rollovers, and much more.
Publish your site - Preview your site with Muse to see how it looks and test how it works. Then convert to a live website using Adobe for hosting, or export the HTML for hosting with a provider of your choice.

This software has been around since 2011 now and it's hardly gone anywhere. I wonder when Adobe will kill it? Apps like Pinegrow are destroying Muse, RapidWeaver and even Coda.

Not sure what's up with version numbering and Adobe.. first CC then CC (2014) Then CC (2014.1).. so when one subscribes to the Creative Suite.. instead of Muse in this case being updated, it actually downloads a second version. Adobe always leaves a mess of Application Support files (even when using their uninstallers) and I'm always a little weary of deleting things manually (I do anyway). When there CC (2014) started I actually deleted EVERYTHING Adobe.. and redownloaded it all from scratch. But now what.. we're gonna see CC (2014.1) and then maybe even CC (2014.2) before year's end, and then CC (2015), with all sort of "duplicate" App Support files and prefs piling up over time. I hate that.

Price is not 19.99! MacUpdate should correct this.

I would like to ear actual feedback on the Adobe Muse application. How it works, if it is useful, if generate good code from the actual designs for website developers, etc. I'm very interested in that. Please, stop the moaning. I don't agree with all this new Adobe "rent model" to, but go moaning somewhere else. this is not the place. Thanks.

Adobe killed GoLive and now they try to mess up things even more :(

The monthly subscription thing is a deal breaker. Adobe needs to stop being so freaking greedy. As foe Muse, Hype does the same thing, seems better than Muse.

I thought, when looking at the listing and price, that Adobe had finally come to its senses and priced its products properly. Then I read the comments and realized that the $14.99 was a monthly cost. I suspect that Adobe would love to not deal with individual consumers-they require too much overhead.

Has Adobe made up its mind on whether this is "discontinued" or not?

I'm a graphic designer and regularly use the CS5.5 applications. I used the beta and trial versions of Muse to build a basic website and was satisfied with the process and results. It wasn't as intuitive and easy to use as something like iWeb or as full-featured and professional as DreamWeaver, and the interface never seemed to have gotten past the Alpha stage, but it did the job. A lot of website coders complain about the bad code, but since the few websites I need to produce are simple and small, I've never noticed a lag or problem with browser compatibility. Muse still looks and feels like an unfinished product. Even the icon and splash screen look primitive and don't match the rest of Adobe's product line up. I can't believe that they've released this as a final product. Frankly it's embarrassing. I might consider buying it, depending on the price, but I will not subscribe and pay a monthly fee. Never. Adobe, you are really trying my patience.

Total crud. The code this thing generates is horrifically bad, expect to find any site you try to make with this almost invisible to Google. A WYSIWYG editor to build a website is a pretty much a fantasy anyway. More so now than it has ever been with the popularity of jQuery, AJAX and dynamic CMS-driven sites.

Back to the 80s !!! Thats $14.99 a MONTH. Seems a desperate sales model by a large company ... And the web code it makes seems to link back to Adobe? Much better products for your 'one time' buck ... Like Flux v4 for WYSIWYG or Coda if you like to code.

After clicking the "Download Now" link a website opens and says "Access Denied" and I cannot download the Muse. .

I bit the bullet and upgraded to CS5 from CS3; however, I won't be buying anymore Adobe products in the foreseeable. In particular, I won't be buying anything that requires a seriously overpriced, unfriendly to the end-user subscription. Sadly, Adobe has gotten too big, too unwieldy, and too expensive. After playing around with Muse for a couple of hours this morning, I think Muse is a product that's symptomatic of much bigger problems with Adobe's current business model; that is, overpriced, underwhelming, and based on hazy/lazy assumptions about what its users want/need. I will continue using CS5 for the time being, but I've already started looking for alternative software to replace it--and high quality, user-friendly, alternatives that don't break the bank are easy to find by anyone willing to spend the time looking. Unless Adobe wakes up and starts paying close attention to what its users are saying, it will find itself on the fast track to being about as relevant as Microsoft has become of late.

Note that Muse is subscription -only- and is $24.95 p/mo. ($14.95 p/mo if you sign up for a year.) You cannot purchase a standalone product.

Adobe, you do not have a clue what you are doing. You already had Adobe Muse years ago. You bought a little company called GoLive, remember? They made something called GoLive Cyberstudio and it was awesome. Then you bought it and ruined it, just like you've ruined every Macromedia product as well. GoLive did almost everything that Muse can do, and that was several years ago. What is the point, really? Coders are making sites with Coda and TextMate and Eclipse, and using CMSs. A web development firm isn't going to hire someone that can use Muse to build a site. They will hire someone that knows how to code. And if you are only going to use Muse to build a personal site or two, then why would you pay a monthly/yearly subscription fee to do that? This is a FAIL waiting to fail.

I'm sure I'm going to get negative marks for this but I like Muse. It's still beta and therefore has a few bugs, and the feature set is limited, but that should improve before its release. I work as a print designer. Now and then I need to pull together a website for myself, a client or a friend. I used to use iWeb to quickly mock-up sites for clients (they liked that better than static Photoshop images) then build them in Dreamweaver. However I don't particularly like coding, plus I do it so infrequently that it takes a lot of time. I've tried Freeway Pro, Flux, Hype, RapidWeaver and Sandvox. I don't like the template-based applications and the others felt like they were fighting me. I find that Muse is the most intuitive and easiest to use. The only thing that I don't like is Adobe's planned subscription pricing plan. I don't want to rent software, I want to own it.

I'm really worried for Adobe. They seem trapped in their own little world where the only people they come in contact with are people already familiar with the Adobe user-interface conventions. Coming from outside the Adobe universe I find it confusing and dark. It's like joining a complicated French film halfway through. I thought it was me but I've since discovered that I'm far from alone.

Lame, so lame. Hype, Rapidweaver, Sandvox, and iWeb all do a way better job than this. The interface is very confusing, and I get a worthless website creator for $180 a year? This isn't even work having for free.

Not worth $180/year. Use Adobe AIR with Prezi. Useful alternative to PowerPoint, but every time you startup you have to wait for yet another Adobe AIR update (it's worse than WinXP updates in this respect). AIR is *slow*slow*slow, even on a high-end laptop with plenty of memory. So now Adobe wants to layer in Muse atop this slow code, and then charge $180 a year (min.) just to "subscribe". Then the default 'publish' is to Adobe's "Business Catalyst" service -- for another $9-$39/month (or $108-$468/year). Listen to Nancy and Just Say No. Learn some code and use Dreamweaver (even an old, cheap version). Or go visual with RapidWeaver -- much cheaper and quicker than Muse. This is a rip-off.

"…without writing code." It's 1998 again!

Thresher-the-Shark

Sounds similar to Freeway Pro.
