Adobe has unveiled the public beta of new software, code-named “Muse”, that enables graphic and web designers to design and publish HTML websites without writing code or working within restrictive templates. Leveraging the latest Web standards, Muse combines design and creative freedom with frameworks for adding navigation, widgets and HTML for advanced interactivity on a website. Designers can add fully customizable interactive elements like slideshows, lightboxes, remote rollovers and more. Muse embeds HTML code snippets from sources including Google Maps, YouTube and Facebook and allows for the creation of Adobe‚Äêhosted trial sites for testing and review purposes. A site can be sent to clients, converted to a paid Adobe‚Äêhosted site or exported for FTP to other hosting providers. Muse is different from other Adobe web design products such as Dreamweaver, which requires coding to build websites; Edge, which is for creating HTML5 animations and motion-based graphics (not websites) or Flash Catalyst, a tool for designing internet applications built on Flex. http://muse.adobe.com
