Dreamweaver is easy enough for amateur web designers and web builders, but at the same time, it has the tools required by professionals. As a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, it seamlessly integrates with other Adobe programs.
As a premium cloud-based program, Dreamweaver receives multiple updates per year. It takes you on a guided tour of the interface and helps you set up your page. You can either view a sample page or get started creating your first page right away. Lastly, it will show you the Manage Sites section and go through the steps to connect to an FTP server to upload your finished project.
To use the FTP, you will need to have an external web host provider. You would write your code but would have to wait until you put it on the web to see if there were any errors or bugs. Now, not only is there a live preview option, but it also uses the newest version of Bootstrap. It now works great since Dreamweaver uses the latest version of Bootstrap.
One of the major advantages of Bootstrap is that it allows you to create responsive websites seamlessly. The Live Preview will also show you how the page will look on smartphones and tablets.
If you import code that was written with an older version of Bootstrap, Dreamweaver will automatically make the adjustments and update it with new JavaScript and CSS files. The interface allows you to add elements and move them around, with drag-and-drop capabilities.
You can also add different sections, fonts, colors, styling, and the code will be automatically created to match your design. The code editing workspace is very user-friendly. The code editor has an autocomplete feature that will help you as you start typing out common codes. Additionally, all the code is color-coded. While it looks nice, this has some practical advantages as well. Having extra code in your website might not affect the website visually or functionally.
However, it can slow the page load time, as the web host is trying to understand the code. While it retains most of the page and font formatting, it also adds in a bunch of irrelevant code. Another important aspect of the HTML checker is that it can find mistakes in your code.
This includes tags that are missing a bracket, validates the XML documents, and checks for browser compatibility. The browser compatibility feature will give you a live preview of the site in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. There are templates for web design, email, responsive websites, and Bootstrap sites. You can make any changes that you want to the template. The brilliance of Adobe Creative Cloud is that all the programs work well with each other.
This means you can edit an image in Photoshop , create a layout design with InDesign , and edit a video clip with Premiere Pro , and seamlessly include those elements in your web design. Dreamweaver will get the code for these elements and integrate them into your website. You also have access to all the Adobe Fonts library, so you can easily set the typography so your copy will look perfect.
As a part of the Creative Cloud, you can sync your Dreamweaver projects and upload them to your cloud server. Now you can access your project from anywhere or invite collaborators to work on the page with you.
To that end, Adobe has an excellent selection of tutorials and step-by-step guides that will help speed up the learning curve. Having access to free templates that cover a range of styles is another feature that makes it easy to use and get comfortable with Dreamweaver. If you have set up a site, and then are working with several other people, then you can export and then import site settings on the different computers.
Export your site settings. Select one or more sites whose settings you want to export and click the Export icon. To select a range of sites, Shift-click the first and last site in the range.
If you want to back up your site settings for yourself, select Back up my settings and click OK. For each site whose settings you want to export, browse to a location where you want to save the site file and click Save.
