New web design suite Adobe Muse beta now available
Adobe’s new web design product, titled Adobe Muse, is now available as a free preview. It is targeted at graphic designers more used to working in print and without deep coding knowledge.
Muse aims to do away with the need to learn coding to produce modern websites, and as such could be of great interest to many graphic designers out there with a background based on print. This will be done via a number of drag-and-drop widgets that provide the kind of design options that would usually have been coded by a developer.
The software employs web standards like HTML 5, CSS3 and JavaScript and has functions for embedding code from popular websites such as Facebook and YouTube.
Adobe Muse is scheduled for a full release in the first quarter or 2012 and will be available on a subscription basis only. Interested graphic designers can access the preview here.
