Editing Adobe GoLive (section)

==History==

GoLive originated as the flagship product of a company named GoNet Communication, Inc. then based in [[Menlo Park, California]],<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ij0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA45-IA7|magazine=[[InfoWorld]] |title=golive, young man: Web editor make the cut |page=IW/6 | first=Chip |last=Brookshaw |volume=18| issue=30 |date=22 July 1996}}</ref> and the development company GoNet Communications GmbH in [[Hamburg, Germany]], in 1996. Later GoNet changed its name to GoLive Systems, Inc, and the name of its product to '''GoLive CyberStudio'''. Adobe acquired GoLive in 1999 and re-branded the GoLive CyberStudio product to what became Adobe GoLive.<ref name=adobestory_175>{{cite book

At the time of the acquisition, CyberStudio was a [[Macintosh]]-only application. In the spring of 1999 Adobe released Adobe GoLive for both Macintosh and [[Microsoft Windows]].{{sfn|Pfiffner|2003|pp=213-214}}

The first versions of Dreamweaver and CyberStudio were released in a similar timeframe. However, [[Dreamweaver]] eventually became the dominant WYSIWYG HTML editor in [[market share]]. After the Adobe acquisition of [[Macromedia]] (the company that had owned Dreamweaver), GoLive was progressively re-targeted toward Adobe's traditional design market, and the product became better integrated with Adobe's existing suite of design-oriented software products and less focused on the professional web development market.

The Adobe CS2 Premium suite contained GoLive CS2. With the release of Creative Suite 3, Adobe integrated Dreamweaver as a replacement for GoLive and released GoLive 9 as a standalone product.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200609/091806CreativeSuite.html| title=New Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Enhances Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 |website=Adobe PressRoom |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070323064143/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200609/091806CreativeSuite.html |archive-date=2007-03-23 }}</ref>

In April 2008, Adobe announced that sales and development of GoLive would cease in favor of Dreamweaver.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.macworld.com/article/133181/2008/04/golivedead.html |author=Cohen, Peter |title=Adobe discontinues GoLive |magazine=[[Macworld]] |date=27 April 2008 |access-date=28 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080429193200/http://www.macworld.com/article/133181/2008/04/golivedead.html| archive-date= 29 April 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>
