When it comes to creating professional-grade products, you should definitely look at the Adobe Creative Suite. It contains a wide range of specialized programs, which serve many purposes, from editing pictures to creating Hollywood-like movies. Adobe Dreamweaver can be used to build websites from the ground up. Its rich tools selection can simplify many aspects of website building, which gives you the possibility of completing your projects much faster.

A free 30-day trial is available for Adobe Dreamweaver, without any kind of functionality restrictions. Downloading and installing Dreamweaver may take some time, due to the large size of the setup file, but it doesn't take as long as other Adobe products and the operation is quite simple, especially if you decide to install the program through Adobe's Creative Cloud.

Although it doesn't display as many buttons and dials as other Creative Suite products, Dreamweaver provides a large selection of useful tools. The main editing area can be set to different view modes, to accommodate your needs. Setting it to "Code" will display a text editing environment, where you can simply write your code. Of course, the program will aid you with its syntax highlighting capabilities, its element quick view pane and other useful features.

You can switch from the code editing environment to a design view, in which you can preview your web pages and make a few modifications or insert new contents. It is also possible to set the interface to a split view mode, if you wish to edit code and preview the page design at the same time.

One of Dreamweaver's key features is the possibility of editing pages in the live view mode. In other words, you can see how a page will look and behave on a browser and make any changes on the spot, directly on the page itself. If you feel that a piece of text could use a different color, or a certain item needs to be scaled, you can do it right away in the live view, without going back to the code view. The program's Chromium-based rendering engine will make your contents look and behave exactly like on a web browser, so you won't have any surprises when you view it on an actual browser.

Pros

Dreamweaver's live editing features allow you to see how a page looks on a browser and edit it at the same time. The program comes with a large selection of useful tools. Its user interface is well designed and its options are well organized.

Cons

There are no obvious design flaws or functionality gaps to address. Even if you start building a website from the ground up, you can do everything, from start to finish, in a comfortable, efficient and elegant manner with Adobe Dreamweaver.
