Why Use Fireworks?
With all the applications included in the Creative Suite, why do you need
one more? The reason is mostly because after CS2 (and the removal of
ImageReady), the Creative Suite provided no easy way to create interest-
ing Web graphics. Sure, you can save images for online use in Photoshop
and Illustrator using the Save for Web & Devices feature, but what about
rollovers, easy image maps, and interactive wireframes? (A wireframe is a
low-fidelity mock-up, page-schematic rough draft. In Web design, wireframes
are basic visual guides used to suggest the layout and placement of funda-
mental design elements.)

With Fireworks, you can work intuitively by taking advantage of the logi-
cal interface. This interface provides panels and features that relate to the
Web and that offer you the easiest way to optimize (make Web-ready) your
graphics.
