Adobe Dreamweaver Reviews & Product Details

It is our only choice for updating and maintaining our main company website.

Sometimes it crashes repeatedly, and takes a bit to get around it.

We rely heavily on website traffic to our site, so our SEO on our website is very important. The technical side and coding side for SEO is just as important content.

I enjoy the ease of the zero coding feature to best when using dreamweaver.

Although the zero coding feature is great one down side about the zero coding is you will still need to know some hand coding.

I am solving the issue of being able to create more intuitive websites instead of wasting good money on other websites like WIX.

With auto-complete, and syntax checking the software has become a 'right hand' in my creative process. I especially like that adobe has kept up with the times implementing jquery and css3 syntax.

Live preview sometimes hangs a bit, but otherwise the software has always run smoothly for me.

Assuring that all code is properly spaced, setup, and documented. Implementing real time upgrading to our servers via the built in FTP manager.

The option to have the software complete your tags. I also like the option to change code (and code view bg) color.

The price. I am not a fan of the subscription model. I prefer purchasing the software and upgrading as needed.

Very powerful software with many options available for development. Dreamweaver has increased my productivity substantially over the years.

It make life easier especially for designing web page. User friendly

Some options are confusing. May need more easy access to the tools.

Using for web designing

Whether the project is a simple html email or a full blown responsive website Dreamweaver does what I need it to do with as little frustration as possible. The code hints are helpful in a rush and the debugging has been mind saving at times. And the ability to preview the work in different devices is crucial in today's market!

Honestly have nothing negative to say abut Dreamweaver. I have been using it for years and each version is better, cleaner and easier to use.

With the purchase of Dreamweaver we are able to write our code ourselves instead of using the default WYSIWYG editors that are standard on the website & email platforms we use for our company.

Great Code Highlighting helps you quickly scan your code as well as spot any errors. Another really helpful time saver is DW’s code suggestion feature. As you type a HTML tag it will list all the available tags allowing you to key in the first letter of a tag then select the desired tag from a the list. Having the ability to code as well as see what I am getting is really helpful.

It has a confusing interface. Hard to navigate if you are a first time user. The accuracy of the design view is not always accurate. Very expensive.

I use dreamweaver to create client email marketing collateral.

You hear it around the water cooler all the time, Dreamweaver is a clunky and mid-level development tool. I absolutely love Dreamweaver, and the capabilities that it's evolved into over the many years has been phenomenal. I used Dreamweaver in college, and still do in my professional career, which has helped all the much more as a Program Manager. That being said, I'll state that it isn't a true coder's dream, which is usually a simplified version of a WYSIWYG or text editor. If you're like me, and like having all the extras and automated plugins at your fingertips alongside the WYSIWYG - then this is for you. This is the only system I've ever used to edit, configure, and keep local files for my websites, and it's made my life so much easier for it.

So the truth of the matter, with all these wonderful flashy (that was a joke) features, the cost is definitely a huge hurdle to get over. It's not that I've minded so much in the conditions I was working for a company that would invest in it, but there is nothing doing if I'm going to be having to chump up several hundred dollars to maintain a version of Studio that updates yearly.

We're a digital client solution and publishing company that needs to have the best form of development and integration that Adobe provides, we utilize the whole Adobe Cloud system, and Dreamweaver is one of the main components of our day-to-day operations. My own freelance business is certainly all the better using it!

This is an awesome product. I first used it in a website design class in college and it helped give me a great foundation upon which I am able to build upon. I learned how to use HTML coding and now I edit websites and that knowledge comes in very handy. The knowledge gained from the program can help with many other web site edit and design tasks.

Can be overwhelming when you first start using it but once you get into it and learn the basics it becomes very easy to use. The tutorials help even if they are annoying to watch.

The problem we are solving is website design. The benefits are it is very easy to update the web pages. I manage five websites and we are constantly changing the info and updating it such as promos and hours and pricing. This makes it so much easier to go in and fix the info so it's all up-to-date.

The CC version give prompt error notice. The color coding and the new code layout is also convenient to use. The fact that the code can word wrap instead of us having to scroll left to see our code. The long code should just naturally drop to a new line. The automatic code suggestion that pops up is also helpful so that we don't have to type out the full text.

The Server communication management is still sub-par as compared to Filezilla. More often than not, it always fails to upload large files or high amount of files in one go. A more accurate progress bar would be very useful. Comparison to the actual file size on the Computer and the one on the server is also crucial.

Dreamweaver has been my preferred tool for web content management. It is quite simple to use. The massive load of creating good web content is learning the code you need to make the idea reality. You would need to use various functions like jQuery or Java etc and those things are a world of itself.

I love using the adobe programs, and I am very new to html, css and javascript and this program was very helpful as far as being able to have all three of those things all in one document.

I'm not sure if some of my files are corrupted or if it's the program itself, but there are times where I open a file in dreamweaver and the css won't open in my document. I can open it in its own separate document, but it's nice to be able to toggle between the html and css.

Having a working knowledge of html and css would be a great addition to my skill set as a designer, and because Dreamweaver is an Adobe product there was no question about using it.

I think Adobe Dreamweaver is the best for writing codes. You can customize your website and choose the best for it, watching it during your modifications to the code - it has two sides, one for writing codes, one for the preview. As a graphic designer, it happened to me to use it for some projects of mine, and I have to say it's very easy and complete. I'm not a developer, so it's been very helpful to learn Dreamweaver and some of its shortcuts, so I totally recommend it if you are a beginner.

I haven't found anything I dislike so far. The only thing I can say is that sometimes I find the preview not very accurate, so it's tricky to watch the current look of the website.

I used Adobe Dreamweaver to create websites for my clients, all in short timelines.

I used this a couple of times as a beginner web designer. For beginners, it is great. For professionals, it is great as well. For beginners, you get help with html tags that you may not know what they do or where they go, and you can see what they do with the split screen. It is very good for beginning stages. For professionals, you can also see the end product with the split screen. I don't know many professionals who use it though.

It doesn't make it so that you have to learn what the different tags are. It's mostly only good for beginners. Professionals, I suggest that you go and use a different piece of software or do it all by scratch in Notepad.

It helped me with the beginning stages of learning web design. I only used it for one class in college. The rest I did with Filezilla and Notepad.

The best is that there is no limit. You have all possibilities to implement your ideas. And it has a very well thought-out user interface. I like the integration of Creative Cloud Assets as well.

It would be nice if it were more intuitive for designer. I would like a mix of Muse and Dreamweaver.

For my customers, I could implement many exciting projects. And develop especially designs that look good on all devices.

Dreamweaver allows beginners to become comfortable with a professional-level tool through it's intuitive design. Daunting at first, but everything soon becomes clear.

Dreamweaver handily fills in plenty of code for you, making life easier and faster. However, this can lead to become a lazy and reluctant web developer over time.

Dreamweaver allows me more freedom than today's "Make your own website" websites, which allows me to create a site truely in my image.

This is what I learned coding in, so I'm used to it. It has a rich feature set and intuitive ui.

It can be difficult to set up with some sitrs, previews aren't always accurate, and the learning curve is steep.

Web based coding. It's more powerful than basic tools, and integrates nicely with Adobe products.

When I am building websites I almost always start in Dreamweaver... not just because of all the tools that are available in it but because it makes coding easier for me. There are times I don't want to hand code the start of a page and I can use a template to get a quick jumpstart.

It can be a bit overwhelming at first. There are a bunch of tools and features that I don't use on a regular basis but it is always good to know they're available. I am also not a fan of the cost. The UI could probably be a bit better BUT there is a ton and for everything that is there the UI is alright. Aside from those things I can't really say that I dislike Dreamweaver much... it is a solid program and it works really well.

I can't think of a day that passes when I don't use Dreamweaver for at least something small. I use the Spry Assets all the time for form validation. Dreamweaver packages it and all I need to do is upload the files to the server and I have nice form validation.

Websites are built with various pieces of media--all of them which can be easily integrated from other Adobe programs into this one.

As with all Adobe software, there is a learning curve.

Once again Adobe leads the field for web-based graphic design. Dreamweaver is my go to editor for email marketing and website development. I've been using it for over 10 years. From validation to customizable work-spaces, Dreamweaver really helps me maximize my workflow.

There is really not much to dislike about Dreamweaver.

I'm not super experienced with HTML, but I found Dreamweaver to be a great tool with a quick preview, which helped me learn and see my edits right away.

I would love it if they had a more visual website builder with drag-and-drop elements!

I used to build websites for myself and a few clients, but now use it more for minor editing or experimenting with testing out code created by a.i.
