Adobe has a new Muse—graphic designers. While "Muse" is just a working title, the beta of the graphic design software has gone live which lets users work around the fact they don't know a scrap of code.
This means they can publish HTML websites without actually writing any CSS3 or HTML5. Check out the free beta download of Muse now, or a few more scant details in the press release below. [Adobe Muse]

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Aug. 15, 2011 - Today Adobe Systems Incorporated unveiled the public beta of Muse (code name), software that enables graphic designers to design and publish professional, unique HTML websites without writing code or working within restrictive templates.

"Those who have tested Muse are thrilled that something this intuitive yet powerful is now available."
Designers are invited to learn more about Muse by visiting http://muse.adobe.com where they can download the free beta (English only), see a gallery of Muse-created websites, and access instructional tutorials.Plan, Design and Publish Unique and Interactive Websites:
