With the design done, I went to Adobe Muse and started off watching the program tutorials. Also, the website would need to host my custom font, to be used as headlines across the page. It would need a little intro copy, some information about me, the designer, and a link to download the font. Obviously, I wanted the site to be responsive (look good on mobile) so I kept it as simple as possible, with a three-item menu and centred content throughout the page (no need to stack elements on smaller screens). I went to Photoshop and began laying out the design for my one page website. I made this font in one day (a one day build or 'ODB'), so making the website to accompany it in one day seemed fitting. My project would be to create a website for my font, Odibee Sans. So I decided to spend no more than a day learning to use the software, and to see if I could actually build a working, one-page website using Adobe Muse, and publish live to a domain. The worry for me was that programs like this will spit out unnecessary, bloated code, and will never do as good a job as a developer. I've always been suspicious about programs like this. Essentially, you can theoretically turn your design (done in Photoshop or similar) into a fully-functioning, responsive website, without having to write a single line of code. I've wanted to try it out for some time, as it claims to put the power of the web developer into a designer's hands. I own a copy of Adobe Muse as part of my Adobe CC subscription.
