Adobe Dreamweaver Reviews: 4.1/5 — Solid Choice

Use for all my web designing, couldn’t live without it!

The set up process for a new site could be streamlined.

Really speeds up the design process.

What I like the best is access to code and design. I am able to split the screen to see the actual design along with code used to create the design.

Quality of websites are based on your coding skills and along with software. What I mean is the more I have learned about html coding and how to use it, I found that I was able to get more use out of the product.

I use Adobe Dreamweaver to create websites The benefit is that as I am designing websites I can see both coding and design. I also like how you can upload to the internet without having to use a separate software. Everything you need is housed in one software.

I love how easy it is to debug and make changes to a page in the software. You can also see how webpages look in various web browsers, on mobile phones and tablets. It it also easy to manipulate HTML and CSS to improve the look and feel of a website.

I feel the learning curve can be a bit steep, but with some tutorials it does become easier over time. Adobe themselves also provides a lot of guides and resources to help with learning the software and getting to know and best utilize the various features built-in.

It helps create webpages that are mobile friendly and responsive for the digital age. It is important that mobile friendly and responsive websites are at the forefront of any good website from the user standpoint, in my case, students, and that it is also optimized for SEO. It makes it easy to have a nice web presence.

Best thing is the Code Highlighting and Suggestion.

Very Steep Learning Curve and Interface.

Website builder

I have used Adobe Dreamweaver since 2005. It has provided me with a platform to communicate with my students and their parents. I upload my class syllabus, monthly calendars, handouts, and links to other relevant material using Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver also allows for a user- friendly interface that looks clean and professional.

My only concern is that I have to provide my own web hosting; I cannot use it in conjunction with the web space provided by her school system.

I have been able to design a classy website using the dual code and design feature provided on Dreamweaver.

When I first started using Dreamweaver in 2007 it was intense but the help and features make anyone who wants to build a website from scratch the ability to do so.

To a beginner, the software is very intimidating and if a website is not set-up right from step 1, all the work has to re-done

Creativity can be used to its fullest potential and there is no limits on what someone can do to make a website their own

I like the help feature and once you learn how use Dreamweaver it is really simple. It can make designing pages so much easier and save time than doing it page by page - huge time saver. I also like once you learn one Adobe product the rest are easy to learn as well.

It is a bit intimidating to learn, but there are so may resources and free resources. You also have to know a little about coding, but again a lot of resources. You also have to look for the details, one karat can make or break your code, but again... a lot of resources to learn from.

Huge huge time saver. I can edit multiple pages at a time. Depending on what you are doing, if it is repetitive, it is very easy to use and even if you don't know code don't let this program intimidate you.... one bite of the elephant at a time.

My favorite feature about Dreamweaver is the live view feature; you can see the output of your code at the same time that you're coding, and if you want to edit a specific code, you can just click on the relevant item in live you and the code scrolls down automatically to that section.

I don't like the lack of built-in common codes

I design many of the e-mails we send out at our organization on DW

Although coding may take some getting used to, Adobe Dreamweaver makes a great starting point for beginners with easy to understand tutorials and online assistance.

There are several versions and constant updates with changes quite significant. After every update, there’s an adjustment period.

Managing a small business website is much easier with Adobe Dreamweaver.

Easy, quick testing of new changes to learn by doing.

Website layers were confusing to work with.

Learning HTML basics, creating simple websites fast.

how useful it is, I think that it is very useful.

high price/subscription. Unfortunately it is too expensive

creativity for web design

I cannot stress enough about how good dreamweaver is. I know lots of programmers prefer lighter options as sublime for example. I however prefer a software that can do everything for me in one place. Dreamweaver is a centralized piece of software where you can design a site using the many new UI customizations and the from the same app upload it to your web server. Dreamweaver is an all in one amazing tool.

I really do not dislike anything about this software, setting up a site for the first time can be very discouraging for people who are new using this program.

Keeping content organized, reaching out to the backend of any server at blazing fast speeds to make changes and make them live in a timely manner. Dreamweaver delivers so many tools not available in a standalone coding software.

I am a visual creative, not a coder--Adobe Dreamweaver makes it easy for me to design a website from a visual & interaction perspective.

There are far too many options/actions/etc in Dreamweaver that I don't use, but I haven't found anything I don't like, or can't be personalized.

We use Adobe Dreamweaver to design and build web content for our design firm's site. It is very easy to use & very graphic friendly,

What I like best about Adobe Dreamweaver, and the Adobe Creative Suite (Creative Cloud) is that it is a robust tool that is fairly easy to navigate and it works with other Adobe products.

My use of Dreamweaver is probably considered very basic. Perhaps more advanced web developers/programmers may have things they don't like about dreamweaver, but it satisfies my needs.

I use it to look at and test code as well as build website landing pages.

Almost self explainatory, easy to figure out next step and most of coding is done for you

Nothing that I dislike, so far it has been a good experience

Sending newsletters - easy to open in any browser

I love that you can see exactly how the site will look like with a preview look and you can place things in the way you want.

There is not much to dislike except that you need to search for help when you need the help.

Dreamweaver helps with developing a great website and the ability to preview the look before you publish.

I have no education and little support to help me edit code on my website. Dreamweaver helps me parse out the pieces so it's readable. I can easily find the parts that I'm looking to update.

Sometimes the software is slow to load on my desktop. I wish I could edit on mobile.

I needed something so I could go in and make changes without hiring a developer to do it. This software saves us money because I can make updates by myself on a small learning curve.

The new seat update is clean and simple with all of the same powerful tools.

Not much to dislike, but occasionally it would be nice to have some more tools to use to help train other employees.

We are able publish individual webpages using Dreamweaver for internal use that are very effective for productivity and client management.

Dreamweaver is easy to use, but is still very powerful. You can get started with it very quickly, but you still have a lot of room to grow as you learn more about website design.

The price model is a bit expensive and the subscription style means you can't use the program after you end the subscription.

Dreamweaver give me more control over my website design and allows me to do most of the work offline.

Love that all the controls I need are in one spot now

Still need to use photoshop to enhance photos professionally

Web Design and Development

The functionality. It's really easy to use, and I love the split view.

The new colors for coding. I also dislike the price of the new Adobe CC package. I wish that we were able to still buy Adobe all in one package.

We do all of our e-mail marketing with Adobe DreamWeaver. Everything is coded and designed in DreamWeaver first.

I love the code editor, which makes it easy to identify elements, syntax errors, etc.

The interface takes getting used to. The creative cloud model makes costs more acceptable for students, but it's still fairly expensive. It would be nice to see a cheaper option for individual Adobe products. It would be nice if it integrated some of the WYSIWIG/ design elements of Muse.

Dreamweaver makes it easy to push updates through FTP. It also facilitates transition from static to responsive designs

Dreamweaver is super easy to use and the workflow is clean and easy. It makes coding in PHP super easy.

I wish the graphical view could phase php and show a true live view.

Dreamweaver makes our workflow fast and smooth compared to others.

What I like best about dreamweaver is users can design websites using a graphical design approach, a code approach, or a combination of both. The interface is built for designers as well as programmers. There are many template based options for building websites now, dreamweaver gives the user the ability to create a custom site. While templates are provided, you are not locked into the design. The template is just a starting point.

The interface is not user friendly. Like most of the Adobe products, dreamweaver has workspaces and panels, however in dreamweaver the tools you need seem to be hidden somewhere else in the interface and not on your main page. Therefore it take a while to learn the navigation of the interface.

I am a graphic designer. While I can code sites, I prefer to work from a visual perspective. Dreamweaver allows me to do so. If coding is necessary for a feature I may need to use on the site the option to code is there but its only an option not a requirement. That is beneficial to me as a graphic designer.

Great colour coding to help you visualise HTML structure and edit accordingly

Sometimes it glitches - I need to close and reopen

Email coding

I have been using Adobe Dreamweaver since it's 3rd edition. I taught web design using this program, and I still use it to teach basic website coding. It has continued to evolve with the current trends in design, and makes creating a gorgeous site from scratch simple.

In the earlier versions you had to know a little more HTML to understand it the best, but I find that while some basic HTML and CSS is still necessary, my students are able to grasp the design aspect of it better.

I am hopefully creating better web designers who have not only an understanding of the frontside of design but also the backside.

The feature that allows you to switch between the code and the visuals and being able to upload to website directly from within dreamweaver.

There is nothing I dislike about this software.

I used this software to design and maintain the company's website. It allowed me freedom of creativity while not requiring extremely advanced web development skills.

This product makes creating web pages easy.

Nothing this product has helped me from knowing nothing to creating quality products

The quality of products and ability to create almost any possible web page

DreamWeaver allowed me to generate quality web pages with little knowledge of HTML and CSS

Once I became more familiar with coding websites, I found the tool to be cumbersome.

I was designing a new website for a non-profit group

this must be the best tool out there when coming to designing websites. it got all the tools and support every script you require to make a website. it checks the codes instantly and highlights the codes for easy working.its extremely useful while working with dynamic coding languages,it got a screen to see the effect of the coding on the screen so you don't have to change screen now and then to check the code. you can also get code suggestions on the go which is really helpful. another great thing i found about Dreamweaver is the ability to link media files to the coding easily.. there are also options t validate the code with the press of a button. the program is quite popular and you can download tons of templates online made for Dreamweaver online. the support from adobe as well as adobe community is great and quite enough to sort out any problems you may face.

the program isn't browser-based and this is troubling, you can get it right on the dreamweaver interface and the coding can still crash on the browser so you have to do cross-browser testing after all these. the interface is confusing and can take time to learn even thou you can customize it. its really hard tl learn drewamweaver as a beginner. the program isn't cheap many wont be able to afford it.
