Adobe Muse and Pinegrow

Responsive design in muse are coming!! its an great news. But I am talking today more further about muse, that could be possible with pinegrow.

What is pinegrow?

Pinegrow is a desktop app that lets you build responsive websites faster with live multi-page editing, CSS styling and smart components for Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS and WordPress. Really!! I said ‘yap’. Pinegrow lets you work with HTML files on your computer. It doesn’t add any frameworks, layouts or styles of its own to your code. There is nothing to upload, import or export. Simply open, edit and save your HTML files. Quickly build the layout of your webpage with Pinegrow’s powerful visual tools for adding, editing, moving, cloning and deleting HTML elements. Everything you do in Pinegrow is live. There are no previews. You can edit and test your page at the same time — even if you’re using dynamic JavaScript elements.

Pinegrow has full support for Bootstrap and Foundation. Drag components to the page and customize them through UI properties. Pinegrow automatically sets attributes, adds classes or even adjusts the component’s HTML code. AngularJS, 960 Grid and plain HTML are also supported. Open or create a HTML page in Pinegrow Web Editor. Add WordPress actions to HTML elements and set their parameters. Export the WordPress theme. Pinegrow generates PHP code and splits the page into PHP theme files. Pinegrow doesn’t hide the code from you. Edit pages visually and through code — at the same time. Changes made through visual UI are immediately reflected in the code view. Code edits — even if made in external code editor — are immediately visible on the page and in visual UI. (BTW, this makes Pinegrow the perfect tool for learning about HTML & CSS).

Now what is Adobe Muse?

Muse’s biggest selling point is that designers don’t have to learn code (or “markup languages”) like HTML, CSS, or Javascript to break through the barrier of designing for the Internet. As Muse’s engineering director, Joe Shankar, says in the introductory video, “We’re going to change the way websites are built for graphic designers.” Using an interface that’s much like Abobe’s InDesign, designers can quickly and easily create websites as a series of dynamic documents which generate the necessary HTML code for them to be published online. Elements like navigation bars and pull-down menus — typically complicated Javascript features — are included as a series of widgets that can be dragged and dropped onto the page. As a technological achievement, it’s incredibly impressive. Brian W. Jones, a graphic designer who knows some HTML and CSS but doesn’t consider himself “fluent,” was amazed that he completed the tutorial and built the tutorial website in about three hours. “I still think it’s important for a designer to understand markup,” says Jones. “But I think this has huge potential. For certain, small-biz clients of mine, I think it has its place.” Jones plans to redesign his own website with Muse.
