Hi mik05, I said I was leaving this discussion, but still getting notifications and so saw your comment, and thought I would share some thoughts since you sound like one of the smaller number of people with a sizable investment in Muse sites all connected to BC.... ie. in the same boat as me. I took the plunge into Webflow and so far not regretting it. Haven't explored all the options yet, but have seen the features you mention: searchbox, blog, and real browser editing for clients. I had one client with a simple site and I rebuilt it quickly a couple of days ago. First thing I've done in Weblow. I think that in the end Weblow is going to be faster than Muse. Haven't even had time to repoint the domain and email, so just exported the code in Webflow and ftp-ed onto the existing hosting in BC.... and it's working just fine! Really looking forward to their shopping cart which is in beta. Looking way less templatey than any shopping cart I've seen out there, like Shopify.... and totally integrated. As you know, Muse to BC integration was simply never developed out far enough. Also looking forward to getting customers to pay for their own hosting and make a small margin on that. I was thinking this passive income might have been lost for me with the demise of BC. I'm over the fear of getting locked into another system where the platform might cease to exist. Don't really have a choice anyway unless you want to learn code and build slow. Something that has not been mentioned in this thread---at least that I've seen---is that with Webflow and some of these other offerings at least the company is focused on the market. That picture Peter Villonoye posted a while back, with a guy on the MAX stage standing in front of cloud this and cloud that, was powerful. It's like Adobe wants to be a player in corporate services like IBM and the like. They really think Wix and Weebly will replace all us small suppliers. I think they are wrong. If it were true, all clients would be designing their own brochures and sending Microsoft Word documents to the printer. ORRRR.... Adobe doesn't think that and wanted to keep us all building websites, but just programmed themselves into a corner with Muse and BC and so are cutting their losses, for now. Could be wrong, but I don't see Webflow going anywhere soon. They have some momentum on their side, and quite a decent feature set already. Even little stuff, like adding a webclip, not just a favicon... Muse didn't have that. Finally, some people have complained about it all being through a browser and subscription based. Yes, I wish it wasn't subscription based, but oh well. The browser thing though.... that rocks. Not eating up my RAM for one thing. And secondly, when in a pinch, I won't have to trek into the office to make a site change for a client. It also automatically keeps copies of your stie project going back in time, so you can revert. Internet goes down? I might as well go home anyway LOL. Peace Nick
