Open a browser with you desktop design in, and scale the page downwards – when your web font looks too large, set a new breakpoint in Adobe Muse and adjust the size of the font. Within the desktop templates you can use ‘breakpoints’. You have a choice of Desktop, Tablet or Phone templates Set your breakpoints for different screen sizes I would recommend starting with your desktop design first. More below…Īdobe Muse has three templates for your site. However, we found this was cumbersome and some of the lovely kerning we’d adjusted got ‘mucked up’.Ī better, though time-consuming way, is still to use web fonts but combine them with breakpoints. The first requires downloading this plugin which allows you to set the scaling properties of the web fonts. You’ll find the page will load quicker, but these fonts won’t automatically adjust in size when required to.
Within the software, choose a web font from the wide choice available.
Working out how to scale text is importantĪlthough images can be set to scale automatically when the screen size is adjusted, what about text? Sadly, not. I prefer to get stuck in and design, rather than using the many ‘off the shelf’ templates available, though if you’re interested please check out these Muse templates.
I’m going to give you some tips about this Adobe Muse mini-site I created. However, there are ways around this, as I’ll talk about.
This is tricky as nowadays websites have to be optimised to work seamlessly on any screen size – such is the diversity of electronic devices. Overall, Adobe Muse offers limited responsive website functionality. It comes with no back-end admin facility – not ideal if you’re thinking of creating a large ever-changing blog, for example. It also has the added benefit of parallax scrolling – where items on the webpage move or animate as the user scrolls down or up.Īdobe Muse is only suited to smaller or one-off websites. *Update: As of March 2018, Adobe Muse is no longer being developed Adobe Muse CC 2015 is software that allows designers to create visually impressive websites with very little coding knowledge.
