![]() In all honesty, if we’ve been able to learn the craft of “print” media and all it’s complexities, we can surely learn how to build a website (and more). What? Am I not smart enough to learn Dreamweaver? How hard can it be, right?įorgive my rant, I just think that if DW is a better web solution, why not concentrate on making it friendlier (although it already is), and encourage us “print” guys to do a little extra credit work and learn the program. But, honestly, I feel like someone’s insulting my intelligence. They even tried to make GL look and feel more like InDesign. Now, I can understand the issue of making it easier for InDesigners to venture into the web world. ![]() What was Adobe thinking with the move to update GoLive? As Mordy Golding pointed out, when you go to the Adobe GoLive page, you can’t help but wonder why Adobe has so prominently highlighted the article about switching from GL to DreamWeaver. To me, these news leave me very confused. I’m not sure of the non-US prices… perhaps someone can post those below. GoLive 9 is available new for US$399 or as an upgrade for $169. The irony that GoLive 9 is far more like a Creative Suite 3 app than Dreamweaver CS3 is poignant to those of us who wish this program were in the Suite (alongside Dreamweaver). In fact the UI is so much like InDesign that it’s really easy to work with even if you’ve never used the program before. I’m excited about many of the new features, including the ability to lay out Web pages using a much more “page layout”/InDesign user interface. ![]() But if you’re a GoLive user or you’re a design professional who wants to build sites without having to constantly dip into HTML or CSS code, then you owe it to yourself to check out this new version. If you prefer Dreamweaver, then please don’t bother sharing your flames here just go ahead and keep using it. True, Adobe dropped GoLive from the Creative Suite 3, but many GoLive users are hoping to stick with this great program. You might not have noticed if you wandered by recently, but Adobe just shipped GoLive 9–the much-anticipated (for some of us) update for what some consider the best Web authoring tool around.
