Adobe stopped making Adobe GoLive, the legacy Adobe web publishing software; so what options do web designers who used Adobe GoLive have now? You can still get plenty of information about Adobe GoLive design software as well as Adobe GoLive training and Adobe GoLive tutorials, but if you want to buy Adobe GoLive you'll have to do a little digging. Before you buy Adobe GoLive design software, though, consider your options.

Now that Adobe does not offer upgrades to its popular GoLive design software, users have three choices for web design options. Consider each of the three options below before you make your final decision about Adobe GoLive web design software.

1. Upgrade your Adobe web publishing software from Adobe GoLive to Adobe Dreamweaver

2. Use Adobe GoLive tutorials, get GoLive software information or pay for Adobe GoLive training to maximize your existing software

3. Buy Adobe GoLive design software

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Upgrade from Adobe GoLive

Adobe no longer supports Adobe GoLive design software, but instead it offers Dreamweaver as alternative Adobe web publishing software. You can't technically upgrade, but you can switch. If you already own Adobe GoLive, then you'll get Dreamweaver for less as an incentive to do just that.

I recommend: Switch from Adobe GoLive to Dreamweaver at Adobe Systems and you'll get the Adobe web publishing software for a bargain price. If you don't already own Adobe GoLive, then you can buy Dreamweaver from Adobe Systems or a company like Software Surplus.

Use an Adobe GoLive tutorial, training or other information about Adobe GoLive design software

Make sure your creative team can get the most from Adobe GoLive design software. Let your web designers know you encourage them to work through Adobe GoLive tutorials and that if they want to get Adobe GoLive training, then you'll make it available to them.

I recommend: VTC offers an Adobe GoLive tutorial, and Adobe Systems can point you toward training centers. The biggest benefit of using software that the parent company plans to stop supporting, though, is that without upgrades looming on the horizon, you can buy a book about how to use the software without fear of the book becoming obsolete with the newest version of the software. Barnes & Noble still sells Adobe GoLive Classroom in a Book, the bible for Adobe GoLive.

Buy Adobe GoLive web design software

If you don't want to commit to Dreamweaver just yet but like Adobe web design software, you could try and purchase Adobe GoLive. You'll have a tough time finding suppliers of Adobe GoLive design software now that Adobe no longer supports Adobe GoLive, but you can find it for sale.

I recommend: Buy Adobe GoLive, the legacy Adobe web design software, at either OEM SoftSales or Downloadable Software.
