In 2018, Adobe announced it would no longer release any platform updates or feature improvements for web based tool Adobe Muse, and would soon shutter development on the platform. And since 2020, technical support for Adobe Muse with the creative cloud has ceased. 

What was adobe muse?

The Adobe Muse software was developed to build websites as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. It was considered the midpoint between Adobe Spark and Dreamweaver. Images for Adobe Muse software could be manipulated in design softwares like Photoshop CC, which was great for prototyping. Towards the end of its developmental run, there were features like social media feeds, eCommerce functionalities through third-party plugins and analytics available. Muse lacked a native CMS; you had to turn to Adobe Business Catalyst. Other similar apps include Bootstrap Studio, Google Web Designer and KompoZer.

Duda is the ideal Adobe Muse alternative. Here's why...

In addition to all of the other benefits the Duda platform provides, there’s one that ex Muse users will especially appreciate when it comes time to migrating clients’ websites off of its legacy platform — Duda's patented content import tool.

With this highly specialized feature, Duda enables you to quickly and easily pull all of a client’s existing web content directly into a centralized library within the platform. Images, text, and crucial business information (opening hours, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) can all be consolidated into Duda's Content Library in just a few clicks.

From the library, you can then quickly populate your client’s content into the appropriate pages and sections of their new website and use Duda’s intuitive drag-and-drop builder to make changes as needed.

This one-of-a-kind Duda feature enables your graphic design team to cut migration times for individual websites from a few hours to mere minutes.

It’s a powerful tool that can help you migrate content from other website builders and tools (WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, of offline tools like pinegrow or dreamweaver)

 Have a lot of websites you’d like to migrate without impacting your team’s bandwidth? Our Account Managers can connect you with an experienced team of Duda experts to help you manually migrate any and all of your clients’ Adobe Muse websites to the Duda platform.

Some of these providers can even build custom widgets for your clients that can be reused across all of the websites in your account.

 And for agencies with thousands of website customers, we would love to engage with you and see if our development team can assist with the mass migration of your websites by creating a special plugin that heavily modifies our content import algorithm to work with your sites.
