Muse Designed Blog on Business Catalyst

Hey,
I am sorry if this is covered before, I am throughly confused by Business Catalyst and Creative Cloud and my searches turned up nothing. I want to design a blog in Muse and then host it in Business Catalyst.
Where I am confused is how the CMS, and blog modules get implemented. I have a subscription to Creative Cloud, but Muse doesn't seem to have the tie-ins for Business Catalyst. Do I design it in Muse, then publishing and then implement to blog module? I am very confused as to how exactly you go about this.
Thanks for the advice or help!

Muse is you issue. Muse is super limited really and you wont be able to do to much with it and BC.
You need to look to switch to a proper coding platform and the system itself and built through it.
Your right, as a graphic designer it is not just thre web, but the front end build, UI design, interactive design and more which is a whole world different from graphic design. Always see the same mistakes from the graphic designers who are bad at web design and think they can

Muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices

My muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices e.g. the full-screen video widget doesn't load or play, the scrolling doesn't work. Any advice? The site is gulch.businesscatalyst.com

Once you add the domain to Business Catalyst and finish all the DNS delegation steps listed in the article for launching a site on BC, your old site will no longer load and users will go to the new BC site. Your old hosting then could be discontinued with whichever vender you used. Be aware that DNS can sometimes take 24 hours to fully propogate so you should wait to make sure that things are all loading properly. -j

Changeing a site from Muse to Dreamweaver in business catalyst

HI guys, I have used various forums in the past to answer many questions about web design but never have I actualy asked a queastion - I really hope someone can help me please! (I can't seem to find a simple answer anywhere!)...
So here goes...
Being new to web design I created my very first site in Adobe Muse. My reasons for this were coming from a graphics/ print bacground the transition between the programs were really easy. I created my muse site quickly and uploaded it to business catalyst (incredibly easily) under the domain www.keep21.co.uk.
However as I progressed in learning more about web I decided to try and move away from Muse because I wanted to have more control of the code. For this reason I started to learn Dreamweaver. Being a person who never does anything by half I decided I would start from the basics and firstly learn HTML and CSS before I looked into the program. Having gotten my head around that I created a root directory and began to re-create the site I had built in Muse by hand-coding it into Dreamweaver. I made a few changed a long the way to simplify the design and I am now happy enough to take this site live (replacing the muse site I'd already created). HOWEVER.......... I have noooooo idea how to do this and have become very confused.
Can anyone please explain how to do this please? So to re-iterate I am looking to replace the files I have on business catalyst for the site 'keep' with my new dreamweaver site.
When I started the site I created a root directory and have four basic pages within the folder (index.html, about.html,pricing.htm and contact.html) I a lso have images, templates and CSS ready to go.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Hannah

Hi INTW,
While in Dreamweaver, Go to Site>>Manage Sites... >>Import Business Catalyst Site
Login if prompted and then select the site from the list and choose your current root folder
A connection will be automatically setup.
If you left the download entire site checked, the current remote site folders and files will be downloaded to your root.
All you have to do is upload your new files then go to your admin and set the 'site's start page'.
That's all there is to it.
PS, id suggest you 301 redirect the old pages instead of deleting them.

How do I replace existing website with one created with muse and hosted by business catalyst

My client has a website / URL in use. I have designed a new website using adobe Muse that will replace their existing website, and I would like to use business catalyst to host the new site. What do I need to do to transfer the URL to business catalyst, and post the new site live?

Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences

Taking a Muse site live with Business Catalyst

I have a complete Student and Teacher creative cloud subscription through my school (I am a student). And I have designed a website in Muse. I would like to take it live via Business Catalyst, but when I click "Launch Site," I get a window that says, "To launch this site you should upgrade to a paid Adobe Creative Cloud Membership which includes hosting for 5 sites with Adobe Business Catalyst." Then it directs me to the purchase page. But I already have a cloud membership. What's happening? Can anyone help me out?

Hi,
Creative cloud individual subscription allow you to host 5 free sites with Business catalyst. As you are using Student edition, your product does not qualify for free sites. To push your site live, you must pay for it.
Do let me know if you have any question.

Adding a blog without Business Catalyst

I can't be the first to ask about this: Clients want blogs added to their site but do not want to opt for Business Catalyst hosting. What options are available that allow the creation of a blog that will integrate well with a non-BC site, and that will actually increase site rankings for the site. Many of the blog solutions won't help with the SEO of the site they're on because they're not actually hosted on the site itself, merely a feed from another separate site.
I have a new client who is a major player in the mortgage industry who wants a complete corporate makeover and new branding, and they must have a blog on their site. There's an excellent budget for the project, and I have accepted the job. I now have to make it work and figure out a solution. I'm hoping the geniuses at Muse and in the Muse community will be able to point me in the correct direction on this thorny problem.

Hi,
Please take a look at this post : Re: Ho do i add a wordpress blog to my site?

How can I create a Online Store using Muse? (with not Business Catalyst)

How can I create a Online Store using Muse with not Business Catalyst for example three services
_ttps://orders.self-pub.net/checkout.php?m=fastcheckout
_ww.self-pub.net/services/covers.html

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option stand alone in Muse to create an online store. However if any hosting plan uses CMS feature like Business Catalyst and ecommerce using modules and tags, you can use the same proceedure as for Business Catalyst and integrate that system and host the Muse site on their platform and that would work.
There is other thing that you can try is, Insert HTML codes to link the pages and some contents in Muse to your desired CMS. What you can also do is after you create the site in Muse, you can export the Muse site and get the layout and design of your site and copy paste the codes for pages with some HTML and coding skills to integrate with your desired hosting.
Hope this helps.

Rajan

How to include animation files into muse test site on business catalyst?

Hi there
I am trying to publish a site created in muse to the business catalyst test website service for a client to review
in the website i created an animation that i have inserted as an HTML snippet (ie copied relevant code into "INSERT HTML"
The question is how do include the folder with all the files required to run the animation when i click "PUBLISH" to business catalyst?
thanks

Hello,
You can make the changes in .muse file and then publish it to the existing site.
It will automatically detect your old site when you click on File>Publish ONLY if you are using the same Adobe Id to upload the site which you used earlier to upload.
You can check which Adobe Id you are using by going into Edit>Preferences option and under Publish with Account youwill find the Adobe Id which is being used to upload the site.
you can change the Id (if required) by clicking on the dropdown and click on Switch accounts.
Hope this helps.

Like button disapears when muse site uploaded to Business Catalyst

This is my Muse page
This is what happens when it goes into business catalyst - like button just drops off. Adobe - please HELP!!!!!!

Hi Grant,
Because for now CSS and HTML file editing is incompatible with Muse (e.g. republishing your site will potentially overwrite all the changes), we've decided to hide the file manager for Muse users.
However, there is a way to re-enable it. In order to enable site management for your user, please log into your site, and click on "My Details" (upper right). In the My details page, please check the option "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)", and enter the password to confirm. A new entry (Site Manager) will appear in your menu.

Muse and Typekit without Business Catalyst

Hello! I've been watching this useful video (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-muse/working-with-typekit-fonts/eng/) but I have a dobut. I'd like to know if Typekit works correctly if I don't use Adobe Business Catalyst to upload my website and I use another server to host my website.
Thanks in advance.
Lucía.

You can use your own server to host websites with typekit fonts. The only thing that requires BC hosting is the use of their form features.

Muse site uploaded to Business catalyst, where are the css files?

Hello.
I've uploaded a site created in Muse to my Business Catalyst account. I want to access the css files but in Business catalyst Admin/Site Manager there is no File Manager for the CSS files. How do I make any change? I know I can make changes in the page editor but I need the CSS files as well. Similarly, how do I replace an image, I can't find an images folder either? Do all of these changes have to be done in the Muse program itself?
Muse is new to me so thank you for any help.
Grant
