What is Flux?
Flux is an advanced HTML5 Web design application, capable of creating stunning sites from scratch. Flux isn't a template based solution, it's a creative design environment.
Flux has an amazing WYSIWYG rendering engine, which means you can drag, stretch, and move objects like a you can in a DTP application, and your webpages will look exactly how you intended.*Flux will generate all the code for you, with no unneccesary tags.
Size, position, even margins and padding can be altered with handles on the elements themselves. If the properties are stored in external CSS stylesheets, these are automaticaly updated.
Comments and Reviews
Bought this in a pack a month ago. Was excited as it had overwhelming positive reviews.
But so far a horrible experience:
Wrote to support on my first day - still have not heard back.
Maybe this is just my machine, but I will probably never find out. I literally can not work with this software.
The basic idea of this app is great, and it would be awesome if it worked.
However, a plethora of bugs make using this app a hazard. For example, the Undo function sometimes wreaks havoc in the source of open files. CSS files, which can only be edited with an external editor, are modified without reason. Could be it works better with websites made from scratch with Flux, but the one I tried to modify was really very simple.
If I hadn't bought this app as part of a bundle I would be really angry. As it is, I'm merely disappointed. I hope that future versions work better. Until then I will check out the alternatives, possibly Coda.
