Question

Overwhelmed: rebuilding my website & how best to use Adobe Products to accomplish this? (Muse, DW, RF, etc)

Hello all!

Bear with me, my question will hopefully make sense soon, haha

I am wanting to rebuild my site with some better design, add in mobile support, and keep its current functionality intact (or replicate it with an Adobe product)

my current site can be seen here www.ruesterprod.com (as of 4/5/17)

As you can see I have some Quicksand filtering and sorting going on, but the design sucks and I need to add mobile support and keep it easily updateable as I add more videos to my portfolio. Obviously I can design  the elements in PS and Illustrator, but between Dreamweaver, Muse, Reflow, and Animate I have no idea where to start and how best to keep a solid workflow. Also, for mobile, I'd like to have animated sorting and filtering, but instead of blocks, I'd like to have my videos stacked vertically and be responsive....

MY QUESTION IS: How BEST can I accomplish a redesign, have/keep quicksand-like sorting and filtering, optimize it for mobile, and easily update it when ever I post a new video?

My portfolio can be seen at www.ruesterprod.com

My personal website is www.azaallen.com

[Moved out of the fairly defunct Web Design forum and into the Dreamweaver forum where they can hopefully give a good answer - moderator]

    If you wish to keep the quicksand filtering, (jQuery plug-in) then your only real option is to use Dreamweaver, as no other Adobe web program allows the use of the plug-in.

    For layout I would advise using flexbox, as it allows the simple alignment of items both vertically and horizontaly, see -

    There may be another alternative you could use in Muse, but you would be better advised asking in that user forum.
