The best website design program

I am very happy with Dreamweaver, I have tried many similar programs, but this is the best, the program itself is the best, but if you then complement it with the entire Adobe ecosystem, you simply have an excellent program.

PROS

Dreamweaver is an excellent web designer, it has a lot of features that you can't find anywhere else, the interface is very good, and if you're familiar with the programs in the Adobe ecosystem, it's going to be a very easy interface to use. Editing is very good with any coding language, from HTML to CSS. The integration with the entire Adobe ecosystem is great, you can use tools from programs like Photoshop or Illustrator to create beautiful web pages, which is great. In conclusion, Adobe Dreamweaver is an excellent program, highly recommended.

CONS

It is not a program that can be used on any computer, it requires certain quite demanding specifications. It's the only bad thing about Dreamweaver.

Reasons for switching to Adobe Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is superior in every section.

Dreamweaver is a great tool for beginners

I overall think that Dreamweaver is great if you are looking to build a simple and professional website for your business. The features and templates are set up to save you time while looking professional. Some of the coding features are a bit difficult to figure out for more advanced customization which is a bit frustrating. The plug-ins are also a bit tricky to install sometimes, but once I figured it out, they work flawlessly. So overall, I would recommend Dreamweaver for starting your website design.

PROS

I like that there are already templates and pre built plugins that I am able to take and customize. This saves so much time and keeps things looking professional.

CONS

I feel that some of the features are very difficult to use and implement, and that some customization is very limited.

Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver

I like that my content is mine and can be updated on my domain anytime. No subscriptions necessary.

Reasons for switching to Adobe Dreamweaver

I wanted more advanced options for my website and also to have all of my content on my business domain without having to pay a subscription.

Still a no from me

PROS

Built by Adobe. I would say that's the only thing that is giving me confidence about it.

CONS

Slow to work with, crashes often - UX could be optimised and not as versatile as other tools.

Dreamweaver: Dream or Nightmare?

As a graphic designer, design comes first. I am not a strong coder, so find myself searching online quite often for help. Fortunately, help is usually easy to find.

PROS

Allows user to design and code and easily switch between the two. The different views allow the user to see what the site will look like once completed.

CONS

If the user is not familiar with coding and website building, then Dreamweaver can be a nightmare to use. For users wanting a quick and easy site, Dreamweaver is not a good choice.

Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver came as part of the suite from Adobe, and I was already a user.

Website Development with Adobe Dreamweaver

I used Adobe Dreamweaver to build my website with HTML and CSS and analzye them with real time to understand its outputs. It is easy to use the app while creating such websites.

PROS

Adobe Dreamweaver has lots of good feature while you are creating a website. You can use HTML and CSS while you are programming your website. It is handy that creating a website with it.

CONS

Adobe Dreamweaver has lots of feature but it is quite expensive. You can use for many features that programming but there are other nice tool that you can use.

Reasons for switching to Adobe Dreamweaver

Google Web Designer offers many features, I use both of them for creating websites with HTML and CSS.

Essential for all productive marketing team

PROS

Essential for all marketing team integrating display banner, email template...With Dreamweaver we are able to code without skills in HTML, really helpful not for only the beginner in HTML but also with others employees wishing to save time by finding elements quickly.

CONS

In my opinion, Dreamweaver is too expensive although the quality has a price we ready to pay for.

Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver

These softwares are free, this is welcomed for smaller companies or integrator only wanting to see the code

I highly recommend Adobe Dreamweaver

I highly recommend Adobe Dreamweaver, especially if you want to learn how to design and code HTML and CSS pages. It's a good application to have installed on your computer.

PROS

Adobe Dreamweaver has been around for years. I use the software to debug coding issues, and I like the fact that Dreamweaver highlights syntax elements when there is an error involved in my web code.

CONS

Well, Adobe Dreamweaver is part of a subscription plan and so it is included as a bundle. You have to pay a subscription fee in order to use Adobe's service.

Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver

I like the ease of deployment of Adobe Dreamweaver. All I have to do is download the .EXE file and my computer unpacks the software onto my computer. However, if I use other CMS platforms, I have to customize many of the configurations before I can use the third-party software right away.

Industry leading WYSIWYG editor

I cut my developer teeth on an early edition of Dreamweaver, and remained with the software up to the current CC edition. It does require a lot of setting up and system resources to work effectively, but the result is definitely worth the effort. For instant WYSIWYG style editing and version control it does a great job, and the built-in error checking and prompts are very intuitive and help to avoid common syntax and logic errors.

PROS

I love the clean workspace and level of customisation available to tailor the UI to my needs.

CONS

For software that I don't use frequently, the subscription cost is a little prohibitive, so I frequently cancel and restart when needed. That said, I still return to the software for editing complex html and CSS sites, so it isn't a deal-breaker.

Reasons for switching to Adobe Dreamweaver

I moved from using a text editor to Dreamweaver to make my workflow more efficient and add WYSIWYG editing.

CONS

Fast and responsive website design and coding

PROS

Since its inception a long time ago, Dreamweaver has been growing and adapting to new technologies in web design, it is one of the most popular tools on the market, allows you to create and manage web pages dynamically, is compatible with other Adobe tools and has functions and visual tools that help the programmer to facilitate and streamline the work of coding.It allows us to work from templates, with which we can quickly advance in the work and adaptation of websites.- It also allows us to quickly include resources from the Creative Cloud and Adobe Stock libraries which are also compatible with other Adobe programmes such as illustrator or photoshop.publishing websites from dreamweaver is simple and intuitive, as it allows us to configure the servers and work directly on it.

CONS

Perhaps the only drawback is its price, as today there are more design and development tools which can be free and complete.

My Love for Dreamweaver

Using Dreamweaver was fun.

PROS

I like the quick drag and drop features. You can drag and drop many elements instead of writing the codes. I love it integration feature , which enables one to integrate with databases. You can actually build and run application locally on your laptop then export to cloud when ready.

CONS

Sometimes your connections to databases will not work even when you have done the right configuration. You are compelled to delete all the connections , turn off the application and re-lunch to configure before it starts to work again.

The NOT IDE and NOT website builder

Dreamweaver opens the door to Website building and even some advanced features for people who never coded. The main issue is it is not a "no code" software, but something between an editor and IDE and deployment platform. So after initial happiness the limits become clear rather quickly and I moved to proprietary code rather then fiddling with Dreamweaver.

PROS

At first I liked the generated code coming from Dreamweaver but after getting more profound in coding I realized that there are several moments where the generic code gets in your way and becomes not as efficient as proprietary code.

CONS

The generated code is done in a way where it works for Dreamweaver but trying to get any real programmer to work on the code becomes a problematic task. The code is nice, but todays standards and technologies are somewhere else.

Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver

Macromedia Fireworks (?) back in the days.

Adobe Dreamweaver User

It is a nice option within the Adobe family. I am not a coder so this comes in handy for people like me. You can design it visually and then see the code on the back end. I don't use it as much since Word Press and a lot of the template are providing more option but this product give me customizations I need.

PROS

I like that it is included in Adobe Creative Cloud. It will also sync and update with the rest of my apps. I use Word Press for my websites but this is a great addition if I need custom code or something that Word Press is unable to provide in the template theme.

CONS

It is not intuitive. But I would say not all Adobe products are intuitive. I had to watch videos and ask for help but once I got it, it has been great.

Great web design product if you are a fan of the Adobe CC style interface

Dreamweaver was a great additional tool to use when starting of in web design. Allows you to use an interface to create designs, but also introduces you to code-based concepts which makes it easier if you decide to switch to 100% code-based web design.

PROS

Solid integration of current web development features.

CONS

The panel/menu based interface can be a little confusing and takes getting used to.
