Using HTML in dreamweaver

[davidr77350562]

Quite a long time ago I created a website without knowledge of HTML quite successfully in Dreamweaver.  Adobe tell me that this is not possible.  I did not imagine this and I would know if I knew HTML.

It seems though that in order do use Dreamweaver now,  you really do need to know HTML.  All I can think is that it has changed massively over the years.  I am also wondering if Muse is very similar to Dreamweaver but with no need to know HTML, although it was definitely Dreamweaver I used.  Confused

If you are not interested in learning some html and css then I would advice not to use Dreamweaver but put your time and effort into learning Muse.

However I know nothing about Muse apart from its a point and click environment but how good it is if and when you ever need to expand the website or include something more complex I dont know. You have to hope there is a plugin that will meet your requirements.

I agree with Osgood. Muse would be a nice option for you. Like Osgood said, not everything you need is available out-of-the-box, but Muse has plenty of widgets that can  help you achieve your goals. For getting started with Muse, see How to create a website with Adobe Muse | Adobe Muse CC tutorials

Thanks,

Yes, the web has changed massively.  And it keeps changing.   To keep pace, DW is more focused on web standards based practices and aimed at designers who can work with HTML, CSS & JavaScript code.

In contrast, Muse is aimed at non-coders who just need to create basic websites.  

Different tools for different users.

Thanks. We have changed to Muse.
