Hello Nancy
I think the general consenus of opinion is that DW is not for newbies. It seems a riddle inside an enigma for most. I have never heard of muse but having looked at it is seems very simolar to DW!
My website comprises over 2,000 images, galleries etc. and Paypal payments. Although I hate DW it just seemed the best out of what was around at the time.
I wil investigate Muse further but don't believe it will provide the answer but you never know unless you try/
Thank you
