Adobe® Dreamweaver software lets designers and developers to build standards-based websites with assurance. Design visually or directly in code, develop pages with content management systems, and exactly test browser compatibility thanks to integration with Adobe BrowserLab.

Some veteran programmers to the Adobe Creative Suite may find that new version offers few extraordinary updates to justify the high cost. However, designers and editors who lean on Dreamweaver for complex dynamic Web sites will find plenty of tweaks for editing code more easily within its WSIWYG interface. Those who code by hand may scoff at using Dreamweaver to build sites from the bottom up. This updated application is highly appealing for providing shortcuts to difficult, dynamic elements. And in our tests so far, it feels faster and seems to crash less frequently than its predecessors. Rather than aiming to wow users with "gee whiz" features, Adobe's Dreamweaver improvements appear to have focused on making the less glamorous parts of the application less painful to use.

Adobe also uses the same rendering as Apple's Safari browser to show in real time how effects will appear in page designs.

Dreamweaver's new Live View shows stuff otherwise tricky to spot in JavaScript running in a browser, such as image rollovers. For instance, you can freeze a view of the rollover state while you're working with code in Dreamweaver. And Live Code view lets you preview how JavaScript works in your HTML pages. Thoughtful shortcuts include Dreamweaver's autofill suggestions as you look for items in JavaScript libraries. In addition, Adobe has added enhancements for building complex Web forms without deep developer knowledge by using the Spry framework.
