Muse Site Plan Question

Hello out there!
I'm a self taught (well, still frantically learning) "designer", so if this question is super fundamental I apologize
I have grand plans for this site I'm building but I can't for the life of me figure out how to layout the planning stages! What I would like would be something like this:
HOME
(with only two buttons
Interiors & Exteriors)
                                                                                               INTERIORS                                                                                                          EXTERIORS
                                                                                (HOME)                                                                                                                                          (HOME)
                                             ABOUT                    PORTFOLIO                 CONTACT                     BLOG            EXTERIORS                                   ABOUT                    PORTFOLIO               CONTACT                    BLOG             INTERIORS
                                       The Crew                       Bathrooms                                                                                                                                   The Crew                          Whole House
                                      Why We're Cool              Kitchens                                                                                                                                       Why We're Cool               Windows
                                      Are We Right For You?   Basements                                                                                                                                   Are We Right For You?    Doors    
                                                                              Other Rooms                                                                                                                                                                         Historic Restoration
However, when I put it in Muse menus don't work out & pages need new names (I feel like Atreyu in Never Ending Story...) 
Like I said I apologize if this is super fundamental, but google has yielded zero results
Thanks!

Actually, Muse does allow two pages to have the same name, just not the same filename.
By default the filename is generated from the name the page is given in Plan view, so that's whether the duplicate name restriction comes from. If you go to Page Properties you can turn off this automatic behavior and make the filename whatever you want as long as it's unique for your entire site.
Every page has the name used in the menu (and Plan view), the title used in the browser tab and search results, and the filename. By default Muse generates the title and filename from the name entered in Plan view, but you can override that in Page Properties.

  • Help need to switch Muse site to BC on a allready hosted plan

    Hi,  i also posted on BC forum...
    I have a client that was in a hurry to have his emails accounts before the entire website.
    So i went on and bought the email marketing plan (cos he will also need to do email campains) an pointed his domain everything is working fine, at this moment he has his accounts the domain is live.
    The site would be just a small 7-10 pages not to complicated.
    Has a graphic designer (who has venture into Business catalyst cos it had all the solutions i needed, well that's what the promotional videos said anyway) I made a site in Muse.
    First i did a temporary page thats says "comming soon", and then i made the entire site, all the design and menu but with blank pages cos the client didnt have all the content yet (and still dont have). I uploaded that site to a sub directory so he could see the evolution.
    He approved the design, yay!
    At the end of the process, he told me he needed to have full control with the editor. (style, images, bulleted list, need to put downloadable document like pdf etc.) i told him that he could only modify what was allready there with the Muse in Browser editing (that he saw when i made the pitch using another site) he was impress with the way it worked.
    so i told him i would have to remake "template".
    I thought of using a BC template, and modify the looks to adapt to my client image, Of course, use a responsive theme so he could make the change at one place only. (cos in Muse you need to make the changes on the 3 layouts).
    Now, i created a new temporary site using one of the new responsive template available.
    How can i import that new site onto his live domain? In other words, how can a switch from a theme made in Muse, to a BC template?
    cant i just delete everything in the root folder, and upload the entire new site via ftp?
    please help me find the solution. i am a bit in a panic here
    hope you could understand my lousy English.
    Sincerely,
    i.d.

    This would need to be transparent for m'y client...

    Thanks for additional details.
    Unfortunately we cannot change site template of a live site in BC , but as a workaround Create a site from BC using the template you wish to use then publish the site from Muse to the site created from BC and transfer the contents stored from live site to trial site. Ater final transition is done , you can delete the already paid site and make live the new trial site which includes new site template.
    Thanks,

  • Which BC plan do I select to host my client who has aTumblr blog on  a Muse site?

    Which Business Catalyst plan do I select to host my client's website with aTumblr blog on a Muse site? aspics or marketing?

    Hello
    If you need features like email marketing, BC blogs, secure zone, then you need to select webMarketing plan. And if you need E-commerce features, that you need the webCommerce plan.
    If you want to use external blogs then you may go for a lower plan like webBasic+ or webHosting plan.
    Different plan offer different features. Please see the breakdown of what is included in each plan here:- http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/detailed-plan-breakdown.html

  • How do I Add Google's Universal Analytics to a Muse site

    I'm trying to add Google's new Universal Analytics code (.js code) to my muse site. I've added the js code into the Master page that every page uses but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried adding it individually to each page (removing it from the master) but that also doesn't work. Google's tag manager says it is installed, but Analytics says it isn't.
    Does anyone know how I'd install it? Here is the website in question.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can Someone PLEASE Tell Me Why My Muse Site Will Not Work Upon HTML Export?

    Sorry for the long title!
    I've had a few threads going regarding troubles with my Muse site. These issues have been on-going, and once I was no longer able to upload to Fetch—and had to export to html via FileZilla—it just seems the problems continue to snowball.
    I have a web site. I will disclose the URL here now: www.jamescdarling.com
    When this site was html-based (its original form), using my yahoo small business web host and Fetch, it worked like a charm. All Flash files functioned at 100%, embedded videos/players all played great, etc. Then, I switched over to Muse 1.) because I was excited by the potential, and 2.) I wanted to re-design my site, anyway.
    So, I created my site in Muse, and uploaded it all into Fetch. I soon found that some of my Flash files and videos were not working. This was the case for a long time. I finally gave up after trying everything and asking lots of questions here.
    Just recently, I set out to fix these issues as I was afraid this half-assed site would appear to make me look unprofessional and like I had no idea how to use Flash. I had some problems with the new Muse Update (had to ditch Fetch and use "export with html" using FileZlilla). Changes made to my Muse file were not taking... and each time I viewed my updated site, the updates were not there—it still looked like the previous incarnation of the site. However, with some help from some of the good folks here, I was able to make my site not only update, but work nearly perfectly—or so I thought!
    I just clicked on my personal web site URL link in my LinkedIn page, and I see the old-looking site! The bookmark I have of my site is near-perfect—only the videos still will not load. However, it would seem that my site only functions as well as it does on MY computer only—that is, URL's I have been sending out probably are of the old non-functioning site? The changes I make are not being recognized.
    If you will, click on my above URL (in bold)..... If you click on "Resume", you should see light blue rules separating each section. But I bet you will see heavier gray bars with headers inside them. Also, if you view my Flash work, go to the "Epiphone Casino Mini Site".... the "Finshes" and "Features" pages' interactive elements will not function as they should (never mind the video page!)—but they work perfectly when accessing my site from my bookmark on my computer.
    Can someone please tell me how to make my site update web-wide, and how to get my Flash files to function?
    Thanks!!!

    It seams a lot of folks are haveing issues with FTP upload. Try these areas to look at. Maybe the right answer. I dont use Flash on my sites for a long time now. Anyhow, check these out.

  • Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

    Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
    Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
    Thanks,
    John

    Or, how about this:
    Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

  • Need to create a login page to my Adobe Muse site - how do I do that?

    Hi all,
    I need to create a login page on my Adobe Muse site, as I need to post information that only authorized personnel have acces to. Is that possible. I use Business Catalyst to host my site.
    Thanks,

    Hi Michael,
    The Business Catalyst site should be on web Marketing plan.
    You can create the secure zone in Business Catalyst and then place the secure zone login form code from Business Catalyst to the page in Muse.

    I need to clarify how I can use adobe as a host for my site for free. I see where business catalyst is supposed to be temporary as well as it is recommended to use as the better alternative to launch my muse site. But then I have to use the long extension of "businesscatalyst" in addition to the domain name I'd prefer. How exactly can I take it live? do I have to use a third party hosting?

    Hi,
    Once you are done with your sitet, Click on Publish in Muse, select New Site from the drop down, It will ask you a name for your site, which will be used for  site url, you will get a url like mysite.businesscatalyst.com, then go to the browser and login to the admin panel, mysite.businesscatalyst.com/admin and on Dashboard, click Launch site. This will push your site live, and you can then add your custom domain.
    Also make sure that you have completed all these actions mentioned here

  • Can I replace a published muse site with one I have been working on?

    I have published a muse site as a holding page on a webasics plan, and while that has been live I have started a new muse file an built a website which I intended
    to replace the holding page with.
    I am having trouble figuring out how to replace a already published site with a new muse file?
    Hope that makes sense!
    Thanks heaps

    Hello,
    You simply need to select the same site from the list of sites in the dropdown, while publishing it from Muse. This will replace the existing site with the one you have built in Muse now.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Upload Muse site to BC

    I currently own a Creative Cloud membership and I have been using Muse for a while now.
    The problem is: if I want to create an e-commerce site right now with Muse. So I am trying to make a quick demo to show it to my client, but I just can't.
    If I publish my site using Muse it takes me to a "limited" control panel with no e-commerce button available (which is very uncool btw). If you have to push the site live anyway to get your free web basic bc site that comes with creative cloud, why can't we preview all of BC's features? I hope I am missing something or doing something wrong.
    So I made a new adobe account logged in to BC, all buttons available for trial, but I'm clueless on how to bring my Muse template/site to this new BC account.
    Any helpful links/info is appreciated.

    Hi Seruhio
    Sites published with Muse are on a webBasics plan and that is the reason why you see limited features, however you can contact BC support and ask to change the site plan from webBasics to webCommerce, the plan that includes e-commerce so you can test it out.
    To submit a case and request the plan upgrade click on Manage while on Muse and with the project opened, then on the opening page that takes you into the admin console of your site published on BC, click on the top right corner button "Help and Support", from there click on "Submit a case".
    OR as a quick workaround,you may follow this :
    1. When you have published your first BC site, a free partner portal has been generated for you. As a Creative Cloud user, you do not need it, as all your BC sites are listed in Creative Cloud.
    Your free partner portal can be reached using www.businesscatalyst.com/partnerportal and your AdobeID & password
    ( make sure to use the adobe id you used to purchase Creative cloud)
    2. Once you are logged in create new site > use option start from scratch > Choose plan to create an WebCommerce site. ( NOTE : The site you create cannot be included in free sites, hence from partner portal you can also select under the Clients tab the site you want to update, click on it and select "Upgrade Site", choose the payyment method and plan and that should be all. (plans listed here :  http://www.businesscatalyst.com/pricing )
    FYI, This site you create under free parter portal you get with Creative Coud will show up when you will choose to publish from Muse in the list of the available sites.
    3. Now you may define/add ecommerce option like products, catalogs etc  to the site's admin/manage area and then call the modules to show the products/catalogs in site you creating is muse.  check this tutorial it may help :  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/muse-advanced-cms-integration/
    You'll be able to use the Object > insert HTML... and paste the code/modules for catalogs and products . like shown here : http://prntscr.com/u1vnu
    I hope the information helps

  • How can I download my Muse site.

    Somehow my offline-saved copy of my Muse site has gotten all fouled up. In my saved copythe web pages are no longer being based on the master page even though I saved the page that I last uploaded via FTP and it looks great online. I'm wondering if there is a way to import my website into muse and see if this help? Could this be a Muse problem? should I delete muse and redownload it?

    There isn't a way to import your live site into Muse (other than the changes you do via BC IBE).
    If the pages don't appear to be inheriting Master page content, please check in Plan mode that you have the Master page associated to the content pages through their context menu -> Masters.
    Thanks,

  • How do I properly install my Muse site into Wordpress?

    Hello all,
    Just to be clear; I am not a professional web designer nor do I pretend to be one. I am helping a small business by making their website. I decided to use Muse as I am familiar with Indesign and Photoshop so this seemed like the way to go. I also need a CMS for the site so decided to use Wordpress.
    So I'm searching the web for answers to my question yet still not able to find a decent answer to this:
    How do I install my Muse site in Wordpress (thus using Wordpress as CMS)?
    I already know that Wordpress uses .php and Muse is .html and found ways to convert this (using Bridge for example). Is that the way to go or do I really need to do some serious programming? If someone has a video tutorial that would be great!
    Thanks!

    With no true “Blogging” capability built directly into Adobe Muse, users must find an alternative way to mimic this functionality.  By using embedded HTML and the free Blog provider Nabble (www.nabble.com) this tutorial will explain how to include a fully featured blog in your website without writing any code.
    Here's a sample blog that I built in a few minutes as a demonstration:
    http://mtsampleblog.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    Why aren’t blogs available right now in Adobe Muse?
    Although services like Tumblr and Wordpress simplify blogs greatly, the truth is they are fairly complex to code from scratch and often require complicated backend systems (servers with databases).  Think of all the functionality a typical blog includes - commenting, login systems, archiving, searching - those aren’t features that can be easily achieved with simple HTML / CSS.
    While I certainly can’t speak for Adobe, I can say that for a blog “widget” to simply exist in Muse you wouldn’t be able to host a site on any server, with any configuration. The same is true for the “Forms” widget in Muse - for a form to work, you must host with Adobe’s Business Catalyst. This isn’t because Adobe wants to force you to host your site on their servers; it’s because that’s the only place where they can control the backend setup and build a widget that will consistently work every single time.
    Remember the days of cross-browser bug fixing (before Muse saved us), well just imagine doing that for every hosting server in the world.  But I digress…
    Similar to browsers, there are many different types of hosting servers and configurations
    Image from: http://www.seo4q.com/2012/02/several-types-of-websites.html
    About Nabble
    I like Nabble as a blogging solution for a few simple reasons:
    1. It’s really easy to use, quite powerful, and best of all... free.
    2. Once your site is embedded in Muse, you won’t need to edit your Muse file to make updates.  You will simply login to the Nabble website, post updates (and even change the appearance) and your changes will be reflected immediately on your Muse website.
    3. You have just enough control over the look & feel to integrate it seamlessly into your website, but without advanced features that might be overwhelming.
    4. It contains the core functionality most bloggers look for - searching, archiving, RSS feeds, commenting, etc.

  • Hosting Muse site at BC

    I have a full CC subscription and therefore am permitted 5 free BC sites.
    Are these only for 28 days or whatever for testing and sharing, or can they be hosted long term within the terms of the 5 free sites, without additional charges?
    Sorry to be thick, but it doesn't seem to be clear from what I read on the site.

    Take a look at this article - http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/tutorials/launching-muse-site-push-live-1.html.
    You can create a maximum of 100 free trial sites with your Business Catalyst free Partner account, you would usually use these for previewing and testing purposes or sharing the work with your clients for review. A trial site remains active for 30 days following the last time it is published to.
    The free Business Catalyst sites that you push live (max 5) renew automatically with your Creative Cloud subscription. So you just need to pay for CC subscription and your free sites hosted with Business Catalyst remain "live". These sites are webBasics by plan (and can always be upgraded to higher), read more about site plans here - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/detailed-plan-breakdown.html.
