Hi, I use Adobe Muse and I know that if the customer hosts the website with Adobe themselves; Adobe Business Catalyst, at just under £5 per month, then they can automatically log into their site as an admin user and edit photos that are already there and edit text. Muse is Adobe's stab at CMS sites. If you are using dreamweaver then if you are a Creative Cloud Member, do you have access to Adobe Muse too? I know I have access to everything Adobe have created, as a paying member. It is incredibly easy to learn. If it was the autoshop I would consider subscribing to www.wazala.com. I could have a shop, which I can add new photos, descriptions and prices etc. The site generates the code that goes on your web page. This would mean that rather than your customer having to edit the site itself, they just go to www.wazala.com and do it there. It's very user friendly. It can also link to PayPal etc and works as a fully functioning shop. The good thing about Wazala is that you can also add it onto your Facebook too...so if they also have a Facebook, their shop will appear there too! Check it out, it's worth knowing about. It would also be a good option for any small shop that you might create a website for. Hope this helps. Sebastian

Hello! I say 'budding' because I really am new to all of this. I'm Sebastian. I live and work in York, in a Learning & Development team. I'm really passionate about design and so have just become a subscriber to the Adobe Creative Cloud! Started to teach myself how to use the programmes and already got a good grasp of Adobe InDesign. Now I am trying my hand at Adobe Muse! I' sure to seasoned web designers, knowing how to write code would be preferable but I have to start somewhere. Muse looks surprisingly easy to use! I've been having a play around with designing some web pages and hope to put some on this site and get some feedback, over the next couple of months. I've just bought myself an iMac so I am all set up to try and make a thing of this. Ideally, I'd like to be able to make some money by creating clean and beautiful websites for small businesses. It would be great to try and make back the cost of my Adobe subscription, as a minimum! I already work from home and would love to keep doing this in years to come. I would appreciate any help you guys can give me in regards to feedback on my creations and also some tips on getting set up as a web designer. Muse would definitely be my tool of choice for the next year but would then be looking at Dreamweaver, as it comes with the subscription. I have no idea at the moment what I could charge for a simple website (let's say 5-9 pages with things like an about section, services, contact etc; a site a small independent coffee shop might want). Any ideas? Any other tips would be great also. I intend on doing a number of free sites, so I can build up my own portfolio and of course, create my own site. Anyway that's enough for now. Thanks everyone Sebastian Hope
