"Constant use. Love it!"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Whether at home or at work, I find myself in Dreamweaver every single day. I test code and markup, I edit pages, and I build sites from scratch all inside Dreamweaver. I've been using it since college. It's a great program and I love it!

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I've been using Dreamweaver for so long, I'm not sure what I'd do without it. I can't say anything bad about it.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a web designer, it's one of my strongest tools. I love it!

"Another Fantastic Adobe Program"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

As always, I love the communication between Creative Suite programs. This is a little more complicated but still understandable. I like that I am able to "write code" just using the split screen, I can design and not worry about how to type everything out; it does it all for me! It's nice too that you can view it in the mobile view, so you can see how well it's going to perform on a phone/tablet.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

It would be nice if it was a little closer related to the other Creative Suite programs; this one is a little more confusing and detailed. There are a lot of things on there that don't make sense to me, it seems a bit removed from the usual line of programs. I'm working on all this without having taken any classes however, I'm sure that would have helped.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to adjust images on my website without knowing how to write code! It's actually helping me LEARN code just by making the needed adjustments and using the split view so I can see what changes are doing to the coding.

"Essential to develop basic HTML websites"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver was the basic application to develop HTML since much years ago, it's a reference. On of the best things, which is what I value most is the possibility of has the code in one side and the preview of the website in the other side, its really handy.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

You need basic knowledge to start to using it. With "the mouse" just you can do a few options, and the rest you need to write the code. Apart Adobe Dreamweaver adds some parts of code that is not needed.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basically I edit all websites from clients with this program. Also in new websites developed by content managers (CMS) its useful to edit some parts of the web with better WYSWYG that includes the normal CMS.

"Adobe Dreamweaver"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Como muchos programas de adobe, Dreamweaver es el estándar de la industria para la edición HTML, sus actualizaciones frecuentes te aseguran que siempre tiene compatibilidad con los estándares más recientes y Bootstrap (4.0 en la versión más actual) que le permite desarrollar páginas web receptivas para dispositivos móviles con una industria marco estándar ... sin duda una potencia de HTML5 que más que vale su inversión. También es una ventaja que, al ser un líder de la industria, la cantidad de material de aprendizaje y el contenido del foro para este producto es enorme, lo que facilita cualquier transición.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Es un poco difícil de navegar al principio porque no todo está delante de ti como en las opciones del menú. también debe conocer el lenguaje HTML y CSS antes de usarlo, por lo que es importante que vea videos. Además, no pierdas tu paciencia mientras trabajas en él, lo que hace que un sitio web sea difícil. Si estás acostumbrado a usar cosas como Sublime, entonces estarás bien. Cuando comencé a usar el programa, aprendí los conceptos básicos y eso todavía era difícil, así que esfuerzate..., también te muestra una descripción general de los elementos del menú. Tener que volver a revisar todo es un poco difícil, pero con la práctica todo mejora.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Uso el programa para modificar textos y la web de la empresa en la que trabajo, el área logística de la web la diseño yo con Adobe Dreamweaver.

"A great WYSIWYG for front-end web designers"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I always appreciate the convenience of a WYSIWYG, when it comes to rapid prototyping. It's especially great when you don't want to develop a full-blown (complex) web solution, but also need more control than what Adobe Muse offers.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

When I use it on my computer, it noticeably slows things down while it fires up. After it finishes starting up, it's okay. Aside from that, there's a bit of a learning curve for the uninitiated, and advanced developers will find themselves pining for a more robust IDE.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I need to prototype something fast, and not just a mockup - this is my go-to. I can put things together in a pinch, and split design allows me to monitor my changes in real-time without any extra steps.

"Great Program For Website Editing "
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I love the simplicity of having split screens with design and html. It took a few weeks to learn but once you get the hang of it, it's very intuitive.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

It isn't the most user friendly. There is an initial learning curve. The cost can be a little high especially since they rolled out the cloud versus buying the software outright.

"Incredible!!! It allows me to quickly add design and functionality to the pages."
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

It is very good you can create tables, edit frames, work with layers, insert JavaScript behaviors, in a very simple and visual way. When we use Dreamweaver to create a web page it automatically inserts the tags needed to build the page with the look and feel defined in the image editor. It can be used by any user, without being professional. It allows the use of extensions, which are small programs that any user can write, download and install, offering added functionalities to the application, supporting the World Wide Web Consortium standards and using web technology such as CSS and Java Script.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Without a doubt, the only thing that is unfavorable about this program is its price, which is very high compared to other similar software.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

This program helped me enormously as I learned how to create a website, improving my creativity and increasing my curiosity to use all the tools of this web designer, but it is more useful to be able to design my own website with everything I wanted to put in it. If you are a beginner, internet is a great help, since there are tutorials where you can learn in a very detailed way how to create a website and how to use the other Adobe applications that can be added to our website.

"Super powerful and meets all my coding and development needs "
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Manage sites capabilities is great for a development environment so that code can be tested locally before pushing live with just a click of a button.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I don't really dislike anything about Dreamweaver. The only comment that I can think to put here is that there's a fairly significant learning curve for Dreamweaver and it's designed for developers, not folks who are looking to make quick code hacks or modifications.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

XML Podcast files, website development, CSS coding.

"Helpful tool for web designers "
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

At Adobe Dreamweaver I like the most the fact that is very intuitive and it has the split window view to help you code and see the result without saving and reopen the page in a browser. For a web designer is an important feature even if you know very well to code because you can see in real time how the page will look and also gives you the opportunity to modify anything that does not fit in your design. Also if you do not know to code very well, Adobe Dreamweaver has some very intuitive features that allows you to speed up the process and not worry about a tag you do not remember.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I do not have anything particular that I dislike at Adobe Dreamweaver but if I can do something to improve the software, maybe I would integrate it with different e-commerce platforms. That is the only thing I think Adobe did not consider and especially with the e-commerce industry growing, they need to integrate it in a way.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most important problem I solved using Adobe Dreamweaver is that you can easily reduce the time you spend on editing the design and coding in the same time. If you can see in real time what your code looks like, that gives you the opportunity to change or to improve it without losing too much time.

"Ideal for non-programmers"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

What I like most about this software is the possibility of generating code easily. This is a great advantage especially for designers or people who are not closely linked to software development. The tool of visaulzar in real time changes, is also very helpful, since it allows to go visualizing what is working.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Because it has so many options, it is a bit heavy, it may take a while to load. Being so extensive, learning to use it correctly can take a long time. It could have a greater degree of integration with other products of the Adobe family, this would make it more comfortable to work with the entire Suite.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

With dreamweaver I have developed multiple web solutions, from static pages of informative type, to dynamic solutions that incorporate functions in PHP, such as sending forms, registers, etc. Unlike other applications, Dreamweaver allows me to automate many tasks that would be manual with other software.

"Dreamweaver is a DREAM for Webdesign"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I absolutely LOVE that you do not have to be a master at HTML or CSS and you can build a website like you are! The visual integration of your site, live, really helps as well as encourages learning or basic and advanced HTML.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I wish there was perhaps a little more help or guidance when it came to the part where you host the website, but this is hardly something I dislike, I truly love Dreamweaver.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dreamweaver helps me make my websites look clean and professional and really legitimizes me as a business owner!

"Great program!"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Clean, user-friendly interface and lots of great features. I’ve been using Dreamweaver for 10 years and it has served me very well with a wide variety of clients. I love the flexibility it offers in terms of design compared to more rigid web design software like Wordpress or Squarespace. When a client is looking fur sjndthhbg unique I always use Dreamweaver.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I am not happy with Adobe’s new subscription model, which penalizes smaller shops that might not have a steady flow of jobs. It requires you to pay a monthly fee whether or not you are actually using the program. I much prefer the older model of buying the program in one fell swoop and then not having to worry about monthly fees.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

When a client needs a unique website design that cannot be accomplished with a Wordpress template, I turn to Dreamweaver. It allows me total control over all aspects of the website and it has allowed me to create many unique designs over the years.

What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

coding is an amazing world my friend, for sure you have to learn things like "Zen coding", maybe "less CSS", "php SYMFONY", some SQL stuff (like the Stored procedures) and you ll be ready to go (oh! of course, Javascript and Jquery so you could be some of those cool guys with their bootstrap t shirts walking on the streets) :D believe me, you are losing a whole experience.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

This software has such a history. I remember using it in 2010 to till now

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dreamweaver Zero coding is a lie. I say that as a user. Of course you can do a lot of things wthout coding, but if you know some hand coding, you will get total full control on everything.
