WayJeff Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Please build a WYSIWYG web builder to compete with Dreamweaver, Wix, etc etc. This would be a crowning achievement for Affinity. Please do this ASAP SrPx, Midori Alexandros and Humbleman 2 1 Quote

gm10 Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Should Serif decide to go to the Web, they might want to have a look at https://www.brizy.cloud/. It's still job in progress at this time, but looks very promising. P.S. Still missing WebPlus though. Quote
Medical Officer Bones Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Dreamweaver can hardly be called a WYSIWYG editor anymore. You need at least basic html and css knowledge to create a web page in DW. Besides, DW's days are pretty much over, or at the very least has become a marginalized product in web development. Adobe ran it into the ground. An excellent and capable visual web page editor is PineGrow, which is what I had envisioned Dreamweaver to become. Some basic html and css skills are more or less required, though. Combine PG with the free and awesome Visual Studio Code editor from Microsoft, and the two form a combo that is hard to beat. The other day the PG devs also released a full visual event-based animation timeline for PineGrow. Quote

Other than that ... AlternativeTo Dreamweaver Related to that bloody WYSIWYG stuff, once upon a time there was GoLive then Dreamweaver (parts of GoLive later incorporated), nowadays maybe BlueGriffon might be some sort of replacement (don't know since I do such stuff with a plain good editor and preview in web browsers).

Atom is great, Visual Studio Code "greater", in my opinion. Atom struggles somewhat with larger files. At least it did last time I used it. Quote
v_kyr Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Well preferences for one or other editor are always also a very personal and individual thing. Meaning, either you love or you hate them. Since I've also do a lot of coding, I've tried out a lot of those until today under different platforms (Win/Unix/Mac). Some editors can be highly customized and enhanced to be nearly like an IDE replacement, others are slick and fast/efficient common all around performers. Some are platform portable usable others not etc. So it always also depends on what tasks you want and/or have to do with them frequently.

But I've yet to find an FTP plugin that works as seamlessly for me as RemoteFTP for Atom. I regularly just want to work directly with the remote filesystem. It does that more smoothly than anything I've used with VS Code. But the alternatives are workable. I switched from Atom ... but I still keep it installed. Quote

rjvela82 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Have to interject in this lovely topic 🧐but.... Vector ANimAtioN -- is what serif should deliver next ! 👏 Quote
Nasos Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a DAM and a visual web editor (like pinegrow, blocs, dreamweaver, webflow) if this is something that Serif would consider as an option. I mean if other people support this idea (don't know whether or not it was discussed) let's open a thread and let's see if the math is there. Just thinking out loudly basically :) Humbleman 1 Quote
Deneice Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 UP to wake-up this required need for a so long time... What's the status of the html desktop editors' market today ? From one side, we've got the old veteran and now costly Dreamweaver and for the other side, some complex static website generators or online apps. NOTHING between them but deprecated desktop apps... That is where Serif with its talent should now come back with its old webplus app to offer a complete 360º range of tool for webdesigners for prototypes, mockup or static and self-hosted websites... https://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/software/programming-software/webplus-10-33640/review Is that too much to ask ?😉 Quote

Bit Disappointed Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 Here's some betting advice: two events you shouldn't put money on happening between 2024 and 2030: Serif Software launches a website builder Yoko Ono invests in the arms industry. Alfred and Aammppaa 2 Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit. Just everything.
