I learned to develop websites using its graphical interface back in 2006 when it still belonged to Macromedia. After so many years it is still up with industry standards.
Actually, the features it was missing such as colored text or in depth searching have been implemented in the last few versions making it a product that is not lacking any feature which I desire to do my job.
Dreamweaver is my code editor of choice.
I have been using this IDE with other ideas to ensure that I'm able to correctly transfer my ideas from my head to the internet. I like it's easy of use and auto correction, it gives Dreamweaver a huge upper hand compared to other IDEs. I also like the UI better than the others. It also helps when converting our PSD's into actual websites.
I wish it had been expanded to support other languages more fluently like Visual Studio. It also runs into bugs when you try to update one Javascript file with new information, and it won't accept it.
I am able to convert our ideas and designs into code which is then turned into an actual website, it does it clean and flawlessly. Making our job easier especially with it's ability to recognize tags and recommend bug fixes.
I've used several website designing systems before and I find, as I often do with Adobe systems, that I prefer Dreamweaver over all others. My professional team is still in the process of designing an official website, but through it we've had the best success with Dreamweaver. The live preview is a fantastic feature that has helped me spot many errors in not only code but also design. Code Highlighting has also been a lifesaver because it makes finding my mistakes so much easier.
The code needed to make certain processes happen can be bulky sometimes, but that's normal for any coding software. I haven't gotten the chance to utilize all the features available, and I feel some of that comes from how hidden certain features are. I know that it would cause a lot of bloating on the pages to make everything very obvious, but I feel there's so much that it can be overwhelming at times.
I use Adobe Dreamweaver for both personal and professional use. I've been able to create websites for profit on the side to generate extra income because of my understanding of the basics and beyond of dreamweaver in addition to my coding experience.
I love the double view so I can see what my code is creating and if I missed anything. It is such an easy program to use.
It would be nice to be able to edit the 'live' part of the double screen to see where my code is wrong if I can't figure it out - but that's just being picky!
It allows me to edit my HTML and CSS before I implement it in WordPress.
My portfolio needed to represent me and my art. I didn't want a readymade site that looked like everybody else's. I was able to import custom images and place them exactly where I wanted them. Everything was customizable and I could even drag things around. I wanted the site to have a textural element and was able to do cool rollovers that felt visceral.
This program is great! I'm excited to keep learning and making my portfolio even more refelctive of my style.
The website is up and running, so I'm happy! I can send my clients and prospective buyers to the site to check out my work. That's all I needed!
So many options to chose from to make your design as unique and original as possible.
If you’re inexperienced it takes some getting used to.
Creating media designs
The possibility of seeing the design and the code on the same screen. The use of tables is very practical and the support area is quite good
You can not import code from other HTML softwares because some parts are not compatible and the page is distorted.
We always carry out the HTML developments in this software, it seems practical and with many resources.
I like the ability to quickly code and see the changes on the live section
I dislike some of the quirks that come along with coding and I wish Dreamweaver was able to adjust for them
I am able to hand code emails and websites since using Dreamweaver
Once you overcome the learning curve, Dreamweaver has every feature needed for designing, testing, and launching websites to their full potential. The limitation is only in the user's skillset and knowledge of HTML, CSS, javascript, and any code in general. The best feature is the cross platform testing, where you can preview the finished code in a polished format on small - to - large screens and multiple browsers to ensure cross-browser/platform compatibility. The second best feature is how it automatically parses and highlights code, allowing you to jump around from line to line, while visually seeing the colors change depending on the type of string. The CTRL+F (FIND) feature is powerful, as it allows you to search throughout a websites entire structure, an entire folder, or if you wanted to simply the document that is open. So you can search for a small code string in an entire websites files.
It does have a large learning curve, the UI, typical to all Adobe software in the suite, can be a bit intimidating at first, and may hide features unbeknownst to the user. Requiring the average user to forage into tutorials and online help forums or the Adobe help site to dive into some of the most beneficial features of the program, such as the "Put" and "Get" functions and the customization of server-to-local file synchronization.
Building websites for clients, from scratch using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and flash. I am able to design full interactive web pages using designs from Photoshop or Illustrator, and convert them into user-friendly, fully functioning websites.
I love how the software has auto fill options. It makes it great for beginners and experts who want to move through their code quickly.
I dislike the tabs and how it doesn't always make it clear what tab your are on and which ones are your CSS and which ones are your HTML.
One great benefit is you can preview how your code works in an actual web browser before you save over previous work. It also finds errors in your code quickly so you aren't having to review every single character in the code to find your issue.
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!
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.
As a web designer, it's one of my strongest tools. I love it!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
La gran cantidad de herramientas disponibles para realizar un sitio web forma rápida y sencilla incluso sin conocimiento de código html o css. La capacidad de crear sitios web locales. Poder ver en vivo lo que programas que en html o css. Un gran entorno en el trabajar. Por eso y mas lo considero el mejor programa para desarrollar sitios web.
Realmente no hay nada de lo que pueda quejar y si lo hay solo seria su precio un poco alto.
En nuestra empresa nos vemos en la necesidad de crear sitios web y este software ayuda con esta función.
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.
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.
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.
