I know they have a webpage making thing called Muse, but do they actually give you webspace for your website?

Yes, what you end up with is "ready to go".. you can publish as long as you have the necessary info.
Muse is quite good, and provides a whole suite of tools for publishing a site.. I was unaware they had moved out of Beta but, that's me, lol. Another good one, if you want to experiment, is Kompoozer... yes, that is the name.. it's free and quite good, as well.
I hope this answers your question. Lou.

Creative Cloud, itself, only provides you with access to your work from virtually anywhere, including access to the applications you have, it is not web hosting. That, you have to provide for yourself. For a designer "on the go".. or a second-third year student who works on their projects at home and at school.. it would be very useful. Web host and/or domaiin name.. those are for you to provide. Lou.
Sorry if the first post was misleading.

Oh I see. Thanks for looking at that for me. Hmmm. Can't decide if I should get the subscription or just by photoshop. Muse sounds good as I really like iweb and they say it is better than iweb but a bit like it.
But I was hoping the storage cloud space could be used for webpages. If I have to buy the hosting separately, maybe I just should buy photoshop outright. I always work from home when I make stuff.

Yeah.. unless you are a designer who is visiting clients and making changes "on the fly" on a laptop or something, just getting Photoshop would be the way to go. Sorry, but I am not familiar with iWeb, so I can't make comparisons. I did the beta for Muse and, find that it is a LOT better than most, wish I could show you an exapmle but MY website is in continual disarray... a mess, lol. Lou.

i liked playing around with Muse as well and hope it becomes all the things GoLive never was!!!
It seems to be built for designers and those who want great functionality without spending four weeks on the code side of it.
i've always thought of iWeb as Apple's version of Frontpage - great for quick-and-dirty sites but much of it looked templated...
mind you, you can use a cloud to store all your bits-and-pieces of a site while your building it but i can't think of any that will host it.

Hi there, no iweb isn't templated. you can just put pictures anywhere whereas in template web software I find the pictures behave a bit like text and they can only go in certain spots. In iweb you could put any pictures anywhere. It had themes rather than templates really. It is not restrictive. It has a couple of huge problems. 1 is that you can't do SEO from within the software. the second is that I don't think apple are supporting iweb anymore.
Anyway thanks for all the advice. I think I will just buy the software outright until they close off that option one day in the future.

Everything has really become easier with cloud computing nowadays. Since I do not really need a lot of space, I just have the free storage spaces.
