Muse was. Dreamweaver ? (Xd to prototype) Which tool will help to build a website without coding and coding nights long ?

Question

Hello,There are existential question marks that are more important to be think and things to do. But let me take three minutes of your time.It's weekend. So I take time to ask : Muse was. No longer alternative for an intuitive tool in Adobe Creative Suite in order to built website for all sort of devices ?Yes : Dreamweaver ? I learned to use it in 1999... But I fill ashamed because I'm not sure I'll be able to use it today ? As easily as Adobe Portfolio which I use to help me to design a quite simple web site without weeks of programming and bugs ? By the way:  does not Adobe - which means clay brick - have the "ID" to make dreamweaver disappear by "désespoir" ?Xd made for prototypes.I have an artist oriented gabarit designed, with the help of french ministry of culture. On paper. But it's was conceive in order to be an online simple portfolio.Adobe Portfolio provide reliable gabarits. Still in the air ? Won't it disappear because I have a quite big alarm :  my portfolio is online and each month I wonder What else Adobe will offer, in a while, in place of Portfolio ? For those who are naive, it is impossible to save on your computer a version of your Adobe Portfolio website.Yes. It's better to program and to code an original website. In order to question this media. The media is the message. The media is a massage. (Marshall Mc Luhan)It's weekend. I can enjoy it this week. So I'll do. Hope you genuine good times. I used to wish my friends a constellation of little moments of happiness. Best regards,Pascal

Thank you.Let see if XD speak DW fluently ?!?best,Pascalppg198 wroteLet see if XD speak DW fluently ?!?Pascal,XD is for prototyping and wireframing only. It does not create code. You will need to hand your designs off to a skilled programmer who can translate viable ideas into workable code -- HTML, CSS, JavaScript and whatever server-side language is required. If you want to actually code a working web site yourself, Use Dreamweaver for the front end coding. Use Bootstrap or some other responsive framework for the layout.Look at Wappler -- a visual web app creator ​for the back end. Or you can buy 3rd party DW extensions from WebAssist​ or DMX ZoneIf all that seems like too much trouble, I urge you to go back to a DIY online site builder like Adobe Portfolio, Squarespace, Webflow or Bubble.

Thank you for this documented answer. With different references.

Today I use Portfolio (Adobe’s license...). I used Muse. But, I feel very dependent to a software editor.

As I mentioned I used to code in html. But also in languages like Fortran, Pascal or Ada, for very technical usages. JavaScript a little. But I’m not an up to date web programmer.

I’ll have to think about finding a way with my own practice. I have the basis ! There are also many medias in my Portfolio website.

It’s up to me !

Best regards,

Pascal
