Adobe & Macromedia combined web bundle
Looking for the ultimate solution for web design? Since the acquisition of Macromedia, Adobe now has all of the professional software bundled into their new "Adobe Web Bundle". For $1899.00, you get:
Adobe Creative Suite Premium
Combines full versions of:
Adobe Photoshop® CS2 - a MUST buy for image manipulation
Adobe Illustrator® CS2 - logos & such
Adobe InDesign® CS2
Adobe GoLive® CS2 - use Dreamweaver instead (below)
Adobe Acrobat® 7.0 Professional - convert all your files to PDF
Version Cue® CS2
Adobe Bridge
Adobe Stock Photos
and from Macromedia, you get:
Macromedia Studio 8
Combines full versions of:
Dreamweaver® 8 - a MUST for HTML usage
Flash Professional 8 - a MUST for animation & advanced interactivity
Fireworks® 8 - use Photoshop instead
Contribute™ 3 - fantastic for web clients needing to update their website.
FlashPaper™ 2 - use Adobe PDF except for flash-based docs.
But what if you're just looking for the essentials? Here's what I suggest:
Adobe Photoshop - $649
Macromedia Dreamweaver - $399
(Optional) Contribute - $79
Total: $1127
You'll save $772, but will miss out on photography, PDF files, making logos & such.
Some other things to note:
- If you're into programming more, don't go for the bundle. Wait until they integrate Cold Fusion (Macromedia), or just learn the free programs such as ASP or PHP.
- Keep in mind that this merger just happened. In a few years, expect some serious integration of these products. We could see another Corel developing (putting all the programs into one giant program) or focused systems (i.e. best suited for each industry).
