Summary: A great web application for designers
Review: If you love photoshop, illustrator, InDesign... you should use GoLive for your webs. Some will say this application is difficult to learn and overburdened with adobe-style tool palettes, and this is fair criticism. If you are a photoshop user and have spent the many hours and weeks it takes to become proficient at using Adobe's GUI, then move to GoLive and you will quickly find yourself at home. If you consider yourself more a designer than coder, and you like designing with Adobe software, then GoLive will let you work the way you like to work. Also, from version 5.0 to 6.0, the coding compatibility has improved, particularly javascript.

Summary: Much too much of a good thing
Review: If you're a Mac user I presume you have little interest in unneccessary complexity--and GoLive delivers a level of complexity & difficulty that would make Microsoft proud. If designing web pages is your life this may be what you need. And believe me, it WILL be your life for months after you start using this application. You'll get to know every member of the GoLive support team on a first-name basis. For the rest of us, please, Adobe, make a GoLive Elements program or bring back PageMill.

Summary: Worthless. Money better spent elsewhere
Review: The Adobe team has a way of creating complexities for no particular reason. GoLive drowns in its own muli-tier, reverse-logical design. The development team has obviously intended this program to be used by those totally unfamiliar with the concept of straightforward thinking. Every moment using this software is agonizing and frustrating. It boggles the mind to even imagine the possibility of an Adobe team with usability as part of their gameplan. Please stay far away from GoLive.

Summary: A VERY UN-intuitive product!!
Review: THis is the worst of the lot. I had used Adobe's PageMill to make tons of websites but now that I've upgraded everything to OSX on my computer, I thought it would be a good idea to do that with my web design program.
Buzz,...big mistake!!
Go Live is SO complicated, it's impossible for me to put together a website.
I can't seem to figure out anything in this program.
I've been long time user of Photoshop, Illustrator and AfterEffects, but GoLive is destined to go in the round file. (wastebasket)
Come on Adobe! Put something out there that we can use for web design that doesn't give everyone that uses it a big headache that makes them incapable of producing anything that can be uploaded quickly. Speed is everything! I don't want to spend my life trying to figure out ONE application!!!
PLEASE make it simpler!!!!
No update purchase for me.

Summary: Superb release with server add-ons -- a bargain
Review: This latest release of Adobe GoLive adds two server pieces: a workgroup server for collaborating on sites over a network or the Internet (and storing backups of each file uploaded to the site); and database integration with ASP, JSP, and PHP sites, including a prefabricated database system shipped with GoLive for testing or production use. GoLive 6 also has its full set of tools familiar to users of previous editions, but cleaned up to be less frustrating and more optimized. Many irritations from previous releases were smoothed away, while most features were extended to provide more utility and information. The site mapping feature, for instance, is now optimized for printing or export as a vector file (PDF or SVG) that could be used as a clickable site map. The Table palette now offers exact pixel dimensions of all cells and rows and a tool to resolve bad dimensions. (This might seem small, but most people spend lots of time building and revising tables.) GoLive 6 is a strong release, and for the price it's offered, you're getting a package of thousands of dollars worth of software. Compare GoLive 6 to Macromedia's UltraDev Studio, and you'll see the value here.

Summary: disappointing-a mistake
Review: Unfortunately, I purchased this program because of Adobe's reputation. Maybe Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat are great programs, but adobe has really struck out with golive. it has a clunky interface. the ftp browser hangs on me everytime I upload.
the interface is not intuitive. when I edit pages, strange glitches occur.Shareware programs are easier to use, although not as feature rich as golive. Most of the experienced web designers I have talked to recommend dreamweaver. it looks like I will have to buy Dreamweaver
