Adobe Muse

Hi everyone,

i have no idea, why we had to learn HTML,CSS, when you can do it with Adobe Muse. You don't need  to write any HTML or CSS code. Or am I wrong?

Hi Miro,

This is a great question! I haven't heard of Adobe Muse before, but if it's anything like Google Web Designer, it probably doesn't require HTML/CSS knowledge to make sites with. And those aren't the only tools that don't require programming knowledge to make a site. There are lots of others, for example, Squarespace, WordPress, Weebly, The Grid, Macaw, and FROONT. With all of those tools, you can do a lot of stuff without coding. But, here are a few reasons for learning to code:

- Coding will always give you more customizability/control over the website than something like mentioned above will.
- Some people want a website made from scratch, no matter how easily it could be made some other way
- Even though some of the services above are Content Management Systems, you can code your own CMS with, say, Rails, and have total control over everything - unlike with Weebly or WordPress.
- And, even if you're writing a blog post for your WordPress site with it's pre-built theme, being able to control the HTML can let you add data to your post in a special way, or make your post look different than other posts.

Numbers three and four are kind of repeats of point number one, but I thought it might be worth mentioning them anyway.

There's a surprisingly large demand for people who know how to code websites from scratch. I think it's definitely worth learning if you're interested in programming.

I hope this helps! :)

Well, I haven't worked with them(Adobe Mouse,Word Press,etc.) yet, but I have something read  about this. Some blogs  writing about HTML, CSS like a old school of webdesign,etc. I respect your opinion for this matter.
