Why Use Fireworks?
Considering 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
essentially a mock-up or rough draft created to demonstrate or test a Web
site before it is in its final form. In Web design, wireframes are basic visual
guides used to suggest the layout and placement of fundamental design
elements.)
