Guide Review - Adobe GoLive 6.0
Adobe GoLive 6.0 is more than just a WYSIWYG HTML editor. This tool is actually a complete site management tool. It integrates all the Adobe products to provide the professional Web developer all that is needed to plan a site, create and edit the graphics, design the layout, and add interactivity, animations, and database connectivity. One of the things I like best is the familiar interface - like Photoshop and other Adobe products. And best of all, GoLive includes, in a single product, all the site and page creation/optimization tools that come with Macromedia Studio MX.
