April 9, 2025 5.0 Pros Dreamweaver is a useful tool when it comes to coding. I love the ease of access when updating code and being able to pause and go in real time when working on your websites/application's code.

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.

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. Review Source KO Krystian O.

CEO Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industrial standard for website development " March 22, 2022 5.0 Always professional products. No technology which cannot be used in site building. Every parameter has his place in one of numerous docks/menus of Adobe Dreamweaver UT. Never fail, but its price is too high when you buy if out of suite. Pros There are no options, technology or request which cannot be fulfill with Adobe Dreamweaver suite. It work smooth, on every platform, with excellent integration with other Adobe tools in Suite. In my personal and professional opinion, there are no better and efficient UI in software industry than Adobe UI in general. It always work, always produce professional looking products, and community support is marvelous. Cons When you buy from Adobe, you buy service, not product. You have to work and make money to pay another year of subscription. You cannot make pause, point your "software upgrade" budget to another company or solution, because you loose your license. My positive minds about Adobe are stay at CS6 versions. Alternatives considered [Pinegrow](https://www.capterra.com/p/201850/Pinegrow/) Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver I bought both. Team use Pinegrow, but in one place, one computer we use Adobe solutions for out-company compatibility.

Review Source LV Lena V. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dreamweaver is a great tool for beginners " October 6, 2022 4.0 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. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Adobe Dreamweaver I like that my content is mine and can be updated on my domain anytime.

Pros It guides me from making coding mistakes by highlighting the specific lines of code that contains errors and even suggests strings of code to use in some cases. Cons It takes sometime to learn its user interface especially if you are accustomed to using other web editing software.

February 10, 2023 5.0 Pros Adobe Dreamweaver es un sueño hecho realidad para cualquier desarrollador web. La interfaz visual y el editor de código son intuitivos y fáciles de usar, lo que permite crear y mantener sitios web de manera eficiente. Las herramientas avanzadas de codificación y diseño hacen que sea fácil personalizar el aspecto y la funcionalidad del sitio. Sin duda, es un software imprescindible para cualquier persona que quiera tener un sitio web de aspecto profesional y fácil de administrar. Cons Sería interesante integrar un sistema de control de versiones más robusto. Actualmente, no cuenta con una funcionalidad de control de versiones integrada, lo que puede ser un problema para equipos de desarrollo que trabajan en el mismo proyecto. Review Source César C. Computer engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best website design program" May 23, 2022 5.0 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. Switched from [Google Sites](https://www.capterra.com/p/246647/Google-Sites/) Dreamweaver is superior in every section. Review Source GP Graham P. IT/Business Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use HTML Editor" June 9, 2022 4.0 Overall, I do like Dreamweaver for what it does. It's handy and gives you a quick visual of your coding and if any changes need to be made. Pros I like the split screen of having half source code and the other half the visual design. That allows me to quickly see the changes I make and whether or not they work for what I am trying to accomplish or not. Cons I would like to see in the Design view the ability to see both a browser version of the page and a mobile version of the page from within the same view. Sometimes these don't display the same and making a change can cause one to look right and the other not. Having it on one screen would be useful. Review Source Chibuike U. Head of Training Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Dreamweaver Review" February 13, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the software most because of its ability to work on the live preview. Secondly, I can work on the pre-built template and check its responsiveness in live mode. Cons It's not SaaS software. So if my laptop spoils or my project crashes I may not retrieve it or go back to where I stopped. Also, I can't use it to work on large projects because of its limited functions.

Freelance Artist Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Decent Tool for Basic Web Development and Coding" June 12, 2023 5.0 I have been using Adobe Dreamweaver for over 10 years, and I can honestly say that it is a good program for simple web development. It can be used to create a wide variety of websites, from simple static websites to more dynamic websites and it helps me keep my pages ordered. For those who do not code, it has a WYSIWYG (What You See What You Get) feature that is helpful. Pros One of the best features of Adobe Dreamweaver is the ability to preview your work in real-time. This is incredibly helpful for catching errors and typos before they go live. The feature I use the most is the source code view, which color-codes my HTML and CSS for easy readability. This software is included with the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Cons Dreamweaver's features may not be as extensive as some other open-source and free programs that offer more options for advanced web development and graphic design. Also, if you go with the stand-alone version of Dreamweaver, it can get pricey. Review Source Gary F.

Web Designer - Junior Platform Maintainance Engineer And Seasoned Online Marketing Assistant Building Materials Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's result-driven but requires time and efforts to use it" November 3, 2023 5.0 It's a great tool for web development, however, it requires time and dedication to learn and it can be quite expensive too which makes it a little hard for users with low budgets to buy. Pros Adobe Dreamweaver offers industry-standard designs for projects of all levels. I like it and would recommend it because it's from a popular company. Although I switched from using it for some reasons, however, there are features that I highly appreciate and respect as well. - Its code editor is fully versatile. It supports a wide array of programming languages like HTML, CSS, and Javascript which provide possibilities to perform tasks like syntax highlighting, code completion, and code validation which are super helpful when working on specific projects. - It also offers a wide range of built-in templates and libraries that help to speed up the process of web development. - Design is responsive because it provides options to test designs on various screen sizes. Cons Some major challenges I had with Adobe Dreamweaver include: - ease-of-use: although Dreamweaver can be very performant, however, it's not easy to learn and master. It requires a lot of dedication commitment and practice to get acquainted with it. So I did;t find it ideal because I needed a tool that I could learn and probably start earning from within a short time. - Subscription is expensive Review Source Alessio L.

Come software l'ho trovato molto facile e intuibile da capire anche se vengono date informazioni sul suo utilizzo inoltre è bello che tu possa lavorare sul codice e vedere le modifiche in tempo reale Cons Programmando in asp-classic mi è dispiaciuto molto che le ultime versioni non lo supportino più anche se è un linguaggio poco utilizzato al giorno d'oggi.Penso inoltre che dovrebbe avere un'opzione di ricerca degli errori di codice che è molto semplice in altri strumenti simili.

Online Digital Marketer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For good reason, Dreamweaver is a key participant in the WYSIWYG web editor market." October 21, 2022 5.0 With the use of Adobe Dreamweaver, I assist businesses in building their ideal websites. Real-time work completion is beneficial to me. Pros Adobe Dreamweaver is a quick and adaptable website design program that also contains all the features needed for web coding. Wonderful features of Dreamweaver include the Live View Editing Mode, which displays the coding result in Real-Time.I adore being able to alter the perspectives. It's convenient to be able to click on the page and see the split code view appear below it. When you first start out, the drag-and-drop tool definitely comes in helpful. It also lets us view our webpage as we make changes. Another excellent feature is the ability to make transitions and have total control over each and every little aspect. Cons Although I frequently use it and find it useful, I believe it should have a code error finder option, which is a fairly fundamental feature in other tools of a similar kind. Review Source DT Darren T. Presenter Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Dreamweaver is the best for website building, but not for the average user." October 14, 2022 5.0 Dreamweaver was way beyond my basic skill set with regards to website design. The features where overwelming for me. However I can see why it is the professionals software of choice. Pros Dreamweaver is a proper website builder meaning the skies the limit. You can design and build your site however you want, you are not limited by the options provided like with other online website builders. This is a professional level piece of software. Cons For the average user Dreamweaver is way above any requirement. To get the most out of this software you will need a good understanding of website coding.
