What apps do I need for web design?

Hello, I am new to trying to design my web page with Adobe Products.  I see that Adobe offers many app options now for website creation.  I need something fairly simple because I have no knowledge of coding.  So, my question is folks, what exact apps do I need to get to recreate my page and then, how do I get it actually live online through Adobe?  I was told that my purchase of Creative Cloud would accomplish all this but now I see that is not true.  Thanks.

I agree that it's partly true.

There's no single app or combo of Adobe apps which will produce a beautiful, responsive, easily maintained website for a complete non-coder. Depends on your goals.

Options:

  1. Dreamweaver - the previous benchmark, now past its prime IMHO, requires coding ability
  2. Muse - is being discontinued by Adobe Product Announcement
  3. XD - is for prototyping

Try the Adobe suggestions for alternatives to Muse: Spark or Portfolio

I have a similar question, although I'm willing to learn some coding.  I'd like to make a website like this one:  https://www.uslanmusic.com/biography.html.  I'd like a CONTACT page where people can contact me; have my sheet music available to see (preferably at the same time as the audio plays); have video links and audio.  Is this something I can do with Portfolio?  (I do fear XD and Dreamweaver have too steep a learning curve, and I need to have the webpage up and running in two weeks.)

Why do you say it's not true? Which bit?
