If "the first love can never be forgotten", then I will hardly ever forget about my first experience as a web designer. The internet was a novelty, and tools were scarce. HTML editors of the time required the compilation of lines of code, and poor users had to turn into programmers. So, after several sleepless nights spent learning HTML code, one day I stumbled upon the application of my dreams: GoLive Cyberstudio, the first truly visual web design tool.
Some years have passed since then, and the internet has grown so much that one can now choose among many solutions. Among the best known companies, Adobe, the world leader of applications designed for the press, had a slow Web start allowing competitors like Macromedia, whose applications are totally Net-centric, to conquer the market with few problems. In its attempt to remedy this situation and position itself more favourably, some years ago Adobe bought GoLive considerably evolving the product.
Today GoLive 6.0 is the last version for the software that lets you quickly design, build, manage, and deploy dynamic content for the Web and wireless devices.
Despite its improved integration with the professional world, GoLive still keeps the simplicity that made it famous. The main features of the new version include full compatibility with the latest operation systems from Microsoft, Windows XP, and Apple, Mac OS X.
The version 6 interface is almost untouched from the previous edition, but Adobe increased the number of palettes and enabled better access to the various options. This, despite its positive impact, can at first create some confusion. However, GoLive remains one of the most intuitive Web applications around.
GoLive offers a dedicated Diagram menu and another tabbed palette in which you can work out your site design based on existing and planned pages. This allows you to get an idea of the way the site you are working on should appear and how the links should interconnect. From the diagram to the creation of the pages, you're only a double click away.
