“Easily design, develop and maintain websites”

by Elena Santos about Adobe Dreamweaver

Adobe Dreamweaver is one of the most popular coding editors among developers and web designers. It’s a user-friendly yet powerful tool that’s suitable for both beginners and advanced users alike.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 is the latest incarnation of this all powerful web design program and doesn’t include big changes but rather many minor improvements that make your daily coding faster and easier. This new version of Adobe Dreamweaver includes new features such as Fluid Grid Layout, Improved FTP performance, Adobe Business Catalyst integration, Enhanced jQuery Mobile support, Updated PhoneGap support and more.

Whatever your level of expertise is, you'll find that working with Adobe Dreamweaver is a real pleasure.
The program includes a bunch of tutorials and a complete Help manual for beginners, and a wide array of complex tools for more experienced users. Automatic tag completion makes it easy to code and insert any sort of element in Adobe Dreamweaver, from images to Flash animations or short pieces of audio. Plus these elements can be freely arranged and adjusted until you're happy with the final layout.

The new version of Adobe Dreamweaver includes several improvements and new features: CSS inspection to ease CSS coding, support for popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal, integration with Adobe BrowserLab to preview dynamic web pages and local content, PHP custom class code hinting, and more.

The interface in Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 hasn’t changed that much since previous versions. It’s a clean, minimalist working space that you can easily customize according to your needs. Whether you’re a hard-code programmer, a website designer or an application coder, Adobe Dreamweaver has the perfect window layout for you.

Adobe Dreamweaver is a reference in terms of web designing and programming, and offers a lot of guidance for beginners.

  • Thoroughly documented
  • Seamlessly integrates coding and design
  • Woks with other Adobe apps
