Quite frankly, while Muse appears to have a lot of features, it really isn't very practical.  Having .muse files instead of industry standard files makes this program no better than Coffee Cup.  And at $14.99 a month, well, I'd rather buy and own the program I'm doing to use, provided it's still supported by the maker.  I have Adobe GoLive 6.0, which hasn't been supported by Adobe since I bought it.   Do you have a program where one can build and maintain a website using industry standard files?  I mean, you did, but all the hype about your programs, well, I don't know which one would work for that.  Apparently, Muse is not it.

Actually, since sites created in Muse can be exported as regular HTML/CSS/Javascript files, then it does use "industry standard files".  The .muse file is similar to using a .zip file.  It's basically just a container that packages up all of your HTML/CSS/Javascript files along with instructions for managing all your assets.

 

And yes Adobe does have another program that one can build and maintain a website using industry standard files.  It's called Dreamweaver.

That description of the .muse file does not appear to be remotely correct, unless you are observing a newer beta than what I observed. The .muse file contains a sqlite db that does not contain HTML/CSS/JS. You need Muse to translate that .muse file into HTML.

Further, if you observe the HTML generated by Muse, you will see that it is not structured (either at the page level or the site level) for easy portability to other HTML editors like Dreamweaver. Muse developers stated in the previous forum that they are not intending Muse's HTML to be edited in other programs.
