I was also confused about the margin and padding options presented to me. 960 what? Pixels? Inches? Girth units? Seasoned web veterans will assume that this is a pixel based value, but this app isn’t built for seasoned web veterans, it’s built for newbies who need more information than what is offered here. The default page width that pops up is 960. Here’s another problem that I had with this dialog: there are no units. Print designers might find this familiar, but it blatantly disregards the current state of web design, which is rapidly traveling in the direction of fluid widths and media query driven breakpoints (responsive web design). From step one Adobe is forcing me into a static width mindset.

I downloaded my thirty day trial of Muse, launched it, chose to create a new site and found myself looking at this window.

I will say this: Adobe is closer than ever. There’s plenty that I really like about it in addition to what I think could improve. Do I think Adobe has found the solution the industry has been waiting for? Not remotely.

Given my history on the subject, is this article even worth reading? Won’t I predictably just bash Adobe and Muse and tell you to use Flux or code by hand instead? Many of the ideas from that project made it into the Muse beta, which launched a rant from me all about why adobe doesn’t understand web designers. In 2010, I discussed why Project Rome fell far short of anything usable for serious designers. I’ve written a lot about Adobe’s road to releasing Muse.

Their latest attempt, Adobe Muse, has finally exited beta and is available as a part of Adobe’s new Creative Cloud service ($50 per month) or as a stand alone product ($15 per month). Thus far, they’ve largely fallen short of that goal (Project Rome anyone?). They’ve made it their mission to bring the world of professional website creation to the huge market of designers who can’t write a lick of code. One area that Adobe is intent on pursuing is web design for non-coders. Flash is no longer the poster child of modern web technologies (quite the opposite), GoLive went the way of the dinosaurs and Dreamweaver, though still widely used, is regarded by many to be a bloated mess. Photoshop and Fireworks have you covered from a static image perspective, but tools to build live, functioning websites are another story completely. Adobe Muse Test Drive: Is It Worth $15 Per Month?
