Flux feels like science fiction after so many years wishing that I could have a tool like this.
I’ve had a deep fascination with fractal flames for over 20 years, but the extreme render times and lack of interactive control in programs like Electric Sheep has always kept them a distant fascination. Now along comes Flux, and it absolutely floors me. Not only do I finally get to play with fractal flames, I get to render them in stereo 360º, I can use match moved cameras, and I can actually interactively tweak the parameters. Every time I use Flux I still have to pinch myself that it is real – that it is actually doing what it does.
Flux is advanced XHTML and CSS Web design software. You can do Web 2.0, AJAX, and most other buzzword-compliant things. Flux has the following features:
Drag-and-drop design of Web pages, you can do almost anything without touching or even seeing XHTML/CSS–but you can meddle with the code if you want
Apply cool (or cheesy) effects to images from right within Flux
Attach funky javascript actions to your page without having a clue what you’re doing
Embed Quicktime Movies, Flash, and other objects
Edit sites directly off FTP and SFTP
Create the whole site within the WYSIWYG editor, type in XHTML, or a bit of both. You can use one of the supplied templates to get you started, or just stare creatively at a blank page.

Overview
What is Flux?
Flux is an application for designing websites, visually and using hand coding. You can start with a template, or with a blank page, it's up to you. You can handcode, or never touch a single byte, it's all your decision.
What You See Is What You Get
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, and yes, you can still hand-code, Flux will understand your code. Flux doesn’t make a distinction between typed code, or objects created by Flux, you can create anyway you like, and Flux will understand.
