Icurus Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 What do you guy's think about using GoLive? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot ,I'm new. Icurus Quote
TCH-Andy Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Welcome to the forum Icurus I haven't played with it much myself. If you are after a wysiwyg type CSS builder then it's not bad. With Adobe puchasing Macromedia, I'm not sure what the future is for it. ie. Will they be replacing it with the Dreamweaver products.... Personally I love some of the Adobe products, but go-live isn't my choice for web design. However, everyone has there own requirements, and I don't think there is a single system that is best for all. Quote
GroovyFish Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Welcome to the forum Icurus! I use GoLive, though nowadays mainly just for site management/organization. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Welcome to the forums. The important question is "What do you think of it if you have tried it"? Do you like it? Quote
TCH-Tim Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Everything has pluses and minuses, depends what you want to do with it. I would suggest downloading the trial version from Adobe's website and trying it for yourself before making the investment. Quote
TCH-Don Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Welcome to the forum, Icurus Adobe has some great programs. You may find a number of family members here are using Golive. Its not for me, but you are the one that counts. Quote
stevevan Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Welcome to the forums! All programs, in my opinion, boil down to the fact of if YOU like it. Quote

Icurus I haven't been around here for a couple weeks, so I missed this thread... I use GoLive 6.0.2 for my site design and for my clients. I'm not a super-knowledgeable geeky web guy, just a designer who knows what I want the site to look like. I do a bit of coding off to the side using BBEdit (I'm on a Mac) whenever I need a specific javascript or php script, but most of the work is done in GoLive. There is some quirkiness involved with GoLive, but it's a quirkiness that I, for the most part, understand. Having tried the Dreamweaver demo a while back, I was quite impressed with it, but couldn't make the mental leap in workflow from GoLive. It's like apples and oranges. Clearly, you can go into some impressive depth of coding with Dreamweaver, but that's not my specialty, so GoLive works fine for me. A word of advice: avoid like the plague GoLive's grids, they make for incredibly dense and heavy, complicated code. Do your layout with CSS and leave the tables for tabular content; it's much cleaner that way. You can view my site at sigmadog.com Good luck with your business.
