Adobe releases GoLive 9

GoLive 9When Adobe announced Creative Suite 3, GoLive was absent from the lineup. But Adobe promised to continue development of the application for a Spring 2007 release, and today they’ve kept that promise. GoLive 9 is now immediately available for for purchase as an electronic software download from the Adobe store for $399 with an upgrade price of $169 available for users of GoLive 6.0, CS or CS2.

How does GoLive differ from Dreamweaver, the web design application included in CS3? Adobe is targeting GoLive 9 to “professional designers who want to build web design skills.” The new features in this version “help make the web more accessible to designers who don’t have a background in HTML or other web technologies.”

This intuitive new version empowers non-code savvy design professionals to create modern, CSS-compliant websites using a visual interface and design techniques familiar to anyone who knows Adobe InDesign® CS3 software and print layout.

Those using older versions of GoLive on their Intel-based Macs will be happy to know that GoLive 9 is a Universal Binary and will run on any multicore Intel processor. However, it does require Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher.

For more information, read the GoLive 9 FAQ, which answers such suspicious questions as “Why should GoLive users switch to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3?” and “I’m thinking of switching from GoLive to Dreamweaver. What kinds of resources are available?” There is also a downloadable free trial in case they don’t convince you to switch to Dreamweaver.
