Integrate Adobe Muse templates?

Permalink
Hi

I've been provided a template set that was generated by Adobe Muse. As many of you may know, Muse generates quite a bit of overhead markup, along with some obscure class names. It also looks like there's some magical Muse Javascript to inject content into a correct <div> for responsive breakpoints.

I may be answering my own question, but has anyone successfully integrated a Muse template set into Concrete5? Or, did you re-cut and rebuild the template set from scratch (or Boostrap, etc.). If you used the Muse templates, what were your challenges.

Thanks

Dave

You can convert any Html source code to C5 theme.

"THE PROBLEM" in muse you will get a lot of un-Semantic markup and class names so its really "one way" direction (i believe its really hard to convert muse to any CMS).

"magical Muse Javascript" - Disable JS (or comment the script src) and check if the site is still responsive. If not maybe this is JS issue.

Hi blueatlas,

I have the same opinion as siton. That the actual CSS and HTML from Muse is going to be very hard to work with, modify, and maintain.

An alternative is to treat the generated Muse pages like you would a design from Photoshop, where it provides a visual guide that you use to build a site from scratch.

Thanks siton and MrkDilkington. This confirms my gut instinct about trying to work it into Concrete5 templates. This is definitely going to be a build from scratch.
