The news about them suggesting GL users move to DW on the GL product page, combined with the almost-impossible upgrade price, tells me there’s a war going on over there between the development team and the marketing/strategy team, and the latter has won. I’ve been using it for years and without David’s post I wouldn’t have known it was actually released or that it had such intriguing new features. I’m incredibly disappointed with how Adobe has handled the release of GL9. Luckily GL CS2 runs like a top on my MacIntel. I plan on looking at the tryout and fiddling with it but it would take a heckuva lot of Must Have Features in it for me to convert the 20+ sites we designed and maintain in GL CS2 to GL9 (or DW for that matter). Otherwise, it’s only the four people on the planet who purchased a new copy of GoLive in one of its Suite versions who can upgrade.

So, *if* you purchased GL 6, and can find its serial number, then you can get the upgrade.

You have to have a *standalone* serial number for GL - not one that came from your CS, CS1 or CS2 suite - to get it. And not good, imo.Īlso, very few people will be able to get GL9 for the upgrade price. Preliminary reports from GL9 users on the GoLive Talk listerv are mixed it’s super fast, but GL9 is automatically rewriting code with superfluous CSS calls when you (for example) resize an image. GoLive historically has had pristine code and a much more accessible, powerful and human-friendly interface for editing that code than DW.

And its fans said “this is the program to use if you just want to design, without worrying about arcane PDF settings.” Imagine a layout program that let you create a PDF to hand off to a printer but used all sorts of non-compliant settings in the background. Professional web site design requires as much attention to standards and practices as print design. (“As long as it works, who cares about the code …” Well, any self-respecting web designer does.) I have not yet tried GL9 but as a long-time GL user/site designer, I would hate to see GL become a sort of MS FrontPage gibberish code monster. We’re all just looking for an excuse to learn something new anyway, right?

In all honesty, if we’ve been able to learn the craft of “print” media and all it’s complexities, we can surely learn how to build a website (and more). What? Am I not smart enough to learn Dreamweaver? How hard can it be, right?įorgive my rant, I just think that if DW is a better web solution, why not concentrate on making it friendlier (although it already is), and encourage us “print” guys to do a little extra credit work and learn the program. But, honestly, I feel like someone’s insulting my intelligence. They even tried to make GL look and feel more like InDesign. Now, I can understand the issue of making it easier for InDesigners to venture into the web world.

What was Adobe thinking with the move to update GoLive? As Mordy Golding pointed out, when you go to the Adobe GoLive page, you can’t help but wonder why Adobe has so prominently highlighted the article about switching from GL to DreamWeaver. To me, these news leave me very confused. I’m not sure of the non-US prices… perhaps someone can post those below. GoLive 9 is available new for US$399 or as an upgrade for $169. The irony that GoLive 9 is far more like a Creative Suite 3 app than Dreamweaver CS3 is poignant to those of us who wish this program were in the Suite (alongside Dreamweaver). In fact the UI is so much like InDesign that it’s really easy to work with even if you’ve never used the program before. I’m excited about many of the new features, including the ability to lay out Web pages using a much more “page layout”/InDesign user interface. But if you’re a GoLive user or you’re a design professional who wants to build sites without having to constantly dip into HTML or CSS code, then you owe it to yourself to check out this new version. If you prefer Dreamweaver, then please don’t bother sharing your flames here just go ahead and keep using it. True, Adobe dropped GoLive from the Creative Suite 3, but many GoLive users are hoping to stick with this great program. You might not have noticed if you wandered by recently, but Adobe just shipped GoLive 9–the much-anticipated (for some of us) update for what some consider the best Web authoring tool around.
