Trying to accomplish anything took twice as long as it should. GoLive! packs far too many features into the default window which in turn causes it to use too much RAM. I was able to keep maybe one other program open while using GoLive! Not good when I need to run more than 1 program. On the otherhand, closing the extra features leaves the user without enough tools to get the job done. In contrast, Dreamweaver 3.0 is streamlined so the essential tools ...

Advantages: Adobe Users will love the interface Disadvantages: None Adobe users will find thing hard at first

if you like things that little bit more user friendly then Flash (4 or 5) is your man. ...

Advantages: Drag-and-Drop allows for easy page creation Disadvantages: Too slow and quite confusing at first
Adobe GoLive! is said to be one of the best pieces of software available for web designers. However I don't agree. For a start, the price tag is pretty big, not something you'd want to buy on impulse. Then, trying to run GoLive! on your PC will take forever as it uses a hefty amount of memory - everything takes twice as long.

Using the 'layout grid' objects can be placed wherever you choose and text entered directly meaning 'what you see is what you get'. Macromedia Flash can be added to your pages with no trouble at all and the 'Inspector' keeps everything running smoothly. For budding web designers, the page source is available for inspection should you want to add something of your ...
