With Adobe® Dreamweaver®, you can quickly and easily design, develop, and maintain websites and web applications from start to finish.

It has been built for both web designers and developers; Dreamweaver offers the choice of working in an intuitive visual layout interface or a streamlined coding environment. Intelligent integration with other Adobe products including Photoshop®, Illustrator®, Fireworks®, Flash® and Contribute® software. This ensures efficient workflow across your favourite tools and speeds up the web design process.

DreamWeaver is a superb application that lets you take advantage of all the flexibility and power of a world-class web design tool whilst being able to manipulate pixel-perfect designs in design view, craft complex code in code view, or do a little of each.

By linking to other Adobe products, DreamWeaver lets web designers and coders design, develop, and maintain content within Dreamweaver while taking advantage of intelligent integration with other tools, including Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, Contribute®, and new Device Central for creating mobile device content.

The workspace in DreamWeaver is completely customisable. This makes working in DreamWeaver really simple. You can move commonly used tools and save their positions, toolbars and layouts so that the workspace is the most efficient setup for how you work. Web design has never been more personal or easy.

When this workspace flexibility in DreamWeaver is combined with the many shortcuts included in the application, such as AJAX support, complete CSS support, integrating coding at the click of a button, XML support and support for leading technologies including HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP, ColdFusion, ASP, ASP.NET, and JSP, Dreamweaver becomes the application of choice for web designers and developers everywhere.

Outside of the application is a huge community of support for DreamWeaver. Web designers can enjoy all the benefits of the extensive Dreamweaver community, including the online Adobe Design Centre and Adobe Developer Centre, training and seminars, developer certification programs, user forums, and more than 1,000 downloadable extensions available in the Dreamweaver Exchange.

In the newest release of DreamWeaver, CS3, there is also a separate site dedicated to cross-browser support. This is particularly useful when testing your web designs in several different browsers.

On the subject of CSS, DreamWeaver has a huge amount of integrated support for web design projects with CSS.

Developers can easily incorporate CSS into a project with the new CSS layouts. Extensive comments in each template explain the layout, so beginner and intermediate designers can learn quickly. Each template can be customized for your project, and the advisor website supports the whole process with a free online community.

Designers can also move CSS code from inline to head, from head to external sheet, from document to document, or between external sheets. Cleaning up existing CSS in older pages has never been easier than in DreamWeaver.

From inception to layout, from coding to CSS, DreamWeaver has all the tools that today’s web design community needs to create intuitive, attractive and interactive websites.
