Muse or Wordpress?

I just started to learn Muse and it feels good since I'm used to working in InDesign. Now I wonder if it's just me who can change the website when uploaded? In WordPress, anyone who has logged on can edit text and pictures. Must I learn both Muse and WordPress? Grateful for advice since I am not a hacker, I am just a designer. I have no plans, for now, to do big websites, just smaller for small clients.

It all depends what you want to do, really.
If you plan to do a simple website where you don't need to have other users and manage loads of contents, make a comunity, have a backend and grant access to other people that work with you, then maybe you should use muse
For more complex websites you could use wordpress and add some plugins, themes, etc.
But if you use wordpress you need to learn how to code a bit if you want to change certain things in the layout.
You can also learn to use dreamweaver that can help a lot.

Muse vs Wordpress for Real Estate site?

I need to make a fairly complex site for a real estate developer who has several subdivisions and offers extensive services. I would love to use Muse for the design flexibility, but I can't find how I can make a searchable database of properties that the site owner could update.
Do I really need to use Wordpress to accomplish this?!

Hi
With Muse you can design the site , regarding content management this is done on hosting platform where you host the site as you avail the crm/cms feature where clients can manage the contents.
You can use any hosting platform like wordpress or Business Catalyst, where we publish the site and then manage cms from site backend.
Let me know if you need more details.

Comparison Muse - others (wordpress)

Hello
I've learned Muse and I am happy with that. Sometimes though I have some doubts:
My costumer want to do changes in the site. In Muse, as I understand it, the costumer can change all text and pictures, but not add a new page or change layout. Right? How is it in WP? Others?
My costumer wants a responsive site. Well, that is not possible in Muse, but how is it in WP?
My costumer is not positive to the solution on phone and tablet. I have some problem to make the phone site so it i compatible with the different sizes on phones, from small iPhone5 to new big Samsung. Any tips and trix? How does it work in WP?
Hope someone can give me some answer.
Anders

Muse can create responsive designs, so I'm not sure what you are asking. Of course the specifics will depend on which templates, widgets and so on you use. This is the same with your question about phone and tablet support. It's all up to you. The rest is not really relevant. Even dynamic systems like Wordpress or Joomla do not allow arbitrary changes outside their configuration backends and themes. If e.g. an image hasn't been declared as a placeholder by the site administrator, users can't change it, either. Of course things like adding pages and so on can be done more easily once the dynamic system has been set up and configured since it's done via a database, but if your client has no knowledge of these things, none of this matters. He still won't be able to do it. The simple truth is that your "customer" will have to learn a specific interface one way or the other.

Muse vs Wordpress

I am familiar with Muse and love it. My partner is familiar with Wordpress. Neither one of us are web designers. Can someone help me with the pros and cons of each?
Thanks,

Hi
Muse can be used to design websites without use of any coding knowledge , this is specifically designed for non-coder users who can now create the sites and pages without touch of codes.
Wordpress on other hand has its own specifications but is not similar to Muse.
This would really depend on what exactly you are trying to create, as you have mentioned that you are not a coder so I would suggest you to download and install Muse , create sample sites with trial version.
Some links where users have pointed out specifications :

Can Muse host Wordpress?

I have a Muse website and I've seen in one of the tutorials a basic how to create blog menu option that redirects the user to a blog (outside of business catalyst). I want to begin using Wordpress for my blog, but in order to do so, Wordpress says I need to find a web host that supports Wordpress. Do I need to find another hosting site (i.e. GoDaddy.com) to do this; or can I use Muse as my hosting site? Thanks.

Hi Crystalstar
Muse is a designing software. It is not a hosting platform. You can't host sites with muse. However, you can host sites with Business Catalyst. If you choose to host sites with BC, you can create your blog on BC itself. For more info on BC features, please refer to the following link : http://www.businesscatalyst.com/features

Utilisation de code source Muse dans Wordpress

Bonjour, je viens de réaliser un site professionnel avec Muse. Le client souhaite faire une version Wordpress de ce site, et le webmaster de ce nouveau projet me demande si il peut récupérer ( prendre) le code source de mon site Muse pour bâtir son site Wordpress. Je lui ai dit que cela ne me semblait pas une bonne idée. Je vous pose la question pour connaître votre position. Merci- brian stevens

Re Bonjour,
Voici mes fichiers de test :
La page d'accueil où j'ai décidé d'insérer la petite animation avec adobe edge : www.judoyvoir.be/News
Les menus sont bien affichés, mais pas apparent (Par contre, en les ajoutant sur mon hébergeur, j'ai regardé le code html et vois qu'il y a un soucis... A ananlyser )
Voici une autre page du site qui fonctionne correctement, mais la bannière est remplacée par une image ... www.judoyvoir.be/News/le-club.html
Je tiens à préciser que je travaille dessus et que rien n'est définitif... Par contre les commentaires sont les biens venus
PS : Quel merveille ce "adobe muse" je sens que je vais me laisser tenter par l'abonnement

When will Muse add Wordpress blogging capabilities?

I am looking for a way to add blogging components to a site I am building. First to have a blog page within the site and second to have three of the most recent posts displayed horizontally on the home page.
Any suggestions?

And as everyone knows it's impossible to put an "Enable Sound" button on the page along with a volume slider, for if there's sound it MUST be played at full volume with no means of turning it off, right? I mean, if web sounds went out of style 10 years ago then that's it, nobody can ever use sounds again. Anyone who wants to make web pages for blind friends, musical training sites for children, spoken word translations or explorable soundscapes should all just go to hell because nobody can ever learn from the mistakes of the past. If something failed ten years ago then it's doomed to fail for all eternity.
*Sheesh* Have you ever considered using your imagination instead of knee-jerking? In case you haven't noticed, things are very different now than they were ten years ago. People want to do creative things with their websites, even some things that require sounds (heaven forbid!) and music (nobody wants to hear music).
So here's hoping the Muse team tells you to go to hell and ignores you forever more because you're wrong in your assumptions and, as you've just declared, once wrong you can never be right.
But having said that, I've worked with numerous people on all those projects listed above and while Edge allows sound it's not easy and really bottlenecks the creative process. Especially annoying when I can sit down with others and whip up the site designs and graphic elements in minutes but sounds are excluded entirely until much later.

Integrating Wordpress into Muse need dynamic height based on content with cross domain

Since Muse doesn't currently support Blogs and Wordpress integration I have decided to use an iFrame.
My goal is to have the height of the iframe dynamically change based on the content in my Wordpress blog. I understand this is a common issue with frames that are hosted on different domains.
I am running into having to over compensate with a bunch of deadspace to allow enough room. Alternatively I get the horrible looking scroll bar.
I have tried using cross site scripting, JQuery and postMessage but am having trouble figuring out how to put the proper code into Muse and Wordpress for them to communicate back and forth.
Please, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Abhishek,
Thanks for your reply, however, it is not working with Muse. I added the Javascript to the head section and adjusted iframe and it displays as a small square in the upper left hand corner, unable to view the whole page.
Inserted into head section --
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(obj)
obj.style.height = 0;
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
</script>
inserted as an html object --
<iframe name="MycoSmooth" src="http://www.mycosmooth.com" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe" onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' />
Below is the result:
The purpose is to have an independent website run the blogging capabilities, since muse doesn't directly support blogging as of yet.
Since the site is on a different domain, I am running into cross domain issues and it won't get the height of the page. The methods that apparently work use php and I am unsure how that would work in muse, if at all.

Muse Design Html to Wordpress

I web to wordpress??

Thinking of upgrading to Adobe Muse or Wordpress.
I like the way I web allows one to use different fonts,backdrops,color fills,frames etc..... and hence add one's own outlook to web site.
Can Wordpress do the same,they always look generic.
Thought it seems WP has cleaner html ,hence has advantages.
Wonder if Muse[seems similar to I web] will be more less generic looking vs WP.
Can WP be used in a less generic way or is Muse better for upgrade.
Jay

The only way to use Muse is to rent it from Adobe at $180 per year or at $20 per month on a month to month basis.. That's pretty expensive. If you know any HTML code give Flux a try. It's WYSIWYG and drag and drop. It also can open and edit existing websites. It has a 30 day demo period and very good video tutorials at their website.

How to publish a single Muse page to site that also has a Wordpress site

I have a site (ddmdigital.com) that has Wordpress on it. I need to create several unrelated, stand-alone Muse pages that I would also like to put on that site...not to be accessed from the Wordpress site, just accessed from the site itself. For example, I'd like to put the files in a folder called FB so their url would be ddmdigital.com/fb/pagename. I can't figure out how to specify what I want in Muse's "FTP to Url" dialog box to upload them. I created the folder called FB and tried to use that but Muse just says "No folder of that name found."
I have done this by manually FTP-ing all the files but I'd like to use Muse's publish feature. Any help?
Thanks!

Screenshot of ftp window will help. Alternatively you can export the pages as html and then upload to your server using any FTP client.
Thanks,

Is it possible to link to a specific Wordpress blog post within Muse?

Hey Adobe Muse community,
I'm currently building a site for a client who wants to have full editing capability of his blog posts. He's comfortable with Wordpress, and we've successfully embedded his blog in the Muse-built site. However, throughout the site, there will be references to specific blog posts (that would ideally link to that individual post directly) and he will probably want to promote new posts by being able to send or share the blog post url directly. Using the WP native url isn't really an option as the WP blog has been designed to fit within the Muse site (all redundant menus, call-outs, etc, have been removed), so it doesn't work well as a stand-alone. Additionally, the client doesn't want visitors to be taken away from the site in order to view the blog.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks all and happy holidays,
Liz

you can try using an Arrange Track (though i've found it a bit flaky):

How can I insert a Wordpress page into my Muse site? I need a client to be able to edit links on specific pages. Inbrowser doesn't allow client to ad links.

I need to be able to give my client access to a few pages with links. These links will change often and they want to make the changes. What is the best solution if you can insert a Wordpress page into Muse?

Hi Vickichic,
It is not possible to insert a wordpress page in Muse. You can refer to this post for a similar discussion : Re: How can i integrate Wordpress in my Muse website?

Has anyone developed a site for podcast in Muse? If so what are the pro's and con's vs. using Wordpress?

have built a few sites in Muse and hope to host my podcast on a dedicated Muse created site. I use BC for my sites. Has anyone designed a podcast site in Muse and if so, what are the por's and con's opposed to just doing this with Wordpress and power press plugins?

one-armed is the easiest to install - less disruptive as you can keep your current network unchanged.
However, it requires special configuration to guarantee that the return traffic from the server goes back to the CSM.
This is done by doing client nat which will prevent the servers to see the client ip address and therefore to create statistic based on client ip.
There is a way to inser the client ip in the HTTP header, but it only works for HTTP.
Router-mode is easier to understand and troubleshoot.
The CSM is just like a router with vlans and routing between each of these.
It requires a minimum of configuration.
However, it is important to design correctly.
For example I would recommend not to have client accessing the CSM directly.
They should go through the MSFC first.
Then I would recommend to have only 1 vlan between CSM and MSFC- this is because the CSM only uses 1 default gateway even if you can configure many.
You never know which is active.
The CSM also expect the traffic to come back on the vlan it went out. If you have multiple vlan it is difficult to control on which vlan the response will come back.
Finally 'bridge mode' is good if you want to insert the CSM between the servers and their current default gateway without having to reconfigure the servers.
This is a good solution.
Disadvantage is that all traffic from servers will go through the CSM and it is more difficult to avoid in case you really need it.
A little more complex to troubleshoot as well.
Conclusion: bridge or routing mode is ok - avoid at all cost one-armed.

Gilles
