Adobe Dreamweaver CC

Its great, but I will not pay any amount monthly. Give me one price to buy it and be done. Otherwise you can keep it and ill still to my old faithful version.

Adobe Dreamweaver at newserialkeys is a program for designing web pages, or rather a more fully customized HTML web and programming editor. The program provides a WYSIWYG (where you get the job you do) interface for creating and editing web pages. Dreamweaver supports many sign languages, including HTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Dreamweaver CC 2017 is essentially Brackets.app (Open Source, free and cross-platform) with a lot of unnecessary features, bundled with terrible reputations. It is an ok tool if you turn off its visual editor and Live Preview and use it strictly as a code editor. But in that case, you are practically using Brackets.app inside Dreamweaver. Anyone who is serious about web development and wants to get a decent job should skip it and go straight to a more robust code editor such as Atom, Sublime Text, Brackets, BBEdit, and so on. The majority of potential employers will cringe at your tool choice if you use Dreamweaver. Real coders use a serious text editor. Dreamweaver’s latest set of features are geared toward coders, but they don’t realize that web developers nowadays already use those features through an array of command line tools and a decent code editor, so they will likely yawn. Adobe is probably bringing this version of Dreamweaver to existing users who are forced to use it in a big corporation or a design studio. For them, it’s an ok tool as long as they use it correctly. For others, Dreamweaver isn’t even under their radar at this point, and using it does more harm than good. Steer clear of it.

I'm still using DW5 and plan on sticking with it until hell freezes over.

There are, indeed, a variety of alternatives to Dreamweaver - ranging from 100% visual to code-only tools: VISUAL - Responsive Site Designer - Freeway Pro - Blocs App - Sparkle COMBO VISUAL+CODE - Flux - Pinegrow GUIDED CODING - Coda - BBEdit Not included here are the many online-only tools, which allow you to design web pages on your browser. There really is no reason to support a software subscription model.

I just checked with Adobe Sales. There is no discount for existing DW owners. The price is $19.99/month for a one year contract and $29.99 for a single month. The $9.99/month is for photoshop/lightroom. There business model is gone downhill since this CC thing started. Why would someone want to rent software unless you are a high-end professional? Since I am a hobbyist and do all my work for non-profits on a volunteer basis, it leaves me out in the cold. I will continue to use the old one I own.

Frankly, there really is no reason for a Mac user to bother with this app. So many better and cheaper alternatives available. From Coda to Espresso to BBEdit to Sublime Text, Mac users have plenty of options to choose from.

Hey, wait a minute. So we developers that have the CS 6 Premiere bundle that cost a fortune, can't enjoy this update? I think this a huge rip-off not worthy any and respectable company. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and this new extension also can be enjoyed on CS 6.

Let's see, we've had The New Coke. We've had J. C. Penney with its no-sales policy. Now we have Adobe's CC. If I'm not mistaken, the first two of these three flopped so badly that a change in CEO's was in order. Let's see if Adobe can pull off the hat trick.

So they buy out Macromedia, kill competition and then screw over consumers. Bye, bye Adobe and your greed with your Creative Cloud subscription model. Petition against it is over 30,000 signatures so far... https://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-incorporated-eliminate-the-mandatory-creative-cloud-subscription-model

golive killed. bugs never fixed. support below zero. updates always far to expensive. and now forced updates. I feel like a factory farming animal. like a cow to be milked for what it's worth. I had enough. bye bye greedobe!

MacUpdate head's up: As of 12-05-2012 it's up to 12.0.2

Flux is a very nice alternative to Dreamweaver if you're starting from scratch and unlike me don't know all the intricacies of Dreamweaver already and can avoid the pitfalls. It suits people that want to work more graphically building HTML5/CSS3 oriented web sites. Getting actual acceptable results from Dreamweaver means you have to know your HTML and CSS. I don't think there are actually any applications that lets ju forego the ned for that knowledge completely. If you don't know HTML5 and at least basic CSS you don't know what you're doing, period. The code that Flux produces is more modern than the default code Dreamweaver weaves in my opinion. Coda, an app others have suggested, is actually much more of a coders app than Flux. I can imagine designers wanting to learn to code web pages and that also need real world tests of their designs can make use of Flux. You'll find Flux in the "Similar Software" section above. I'd check it out as well as Dreamweaver.

I have to disagree with you folks. I operate a Web site which is very heavily text-oriented, and most of the time I use Dreamweaver as a kind of specialized word processor (I wouldn't have to do this if there were any actual word-processor which exported halfway decent text in html format, but I've tried them all and I can guarantee you that there isn't). My philosophy is to go in and write, or at least manipulate, actual code as little as possible. As I say, I use Dreamweaver, because it's the only Apple program on the market since the demise of such rivals as Claris Home Page. Well, okay, Dreamweaver is semi-lousy. It' got bugs that Adobe must know all about but has never bothered to fix, it's clumsy and over-complex, and its cost is outrageous. I'd replace it in a heartbeat if I had an alternative, but since there isn't it will remain the basic tool of my trade. And here's my point: I wouldn't bother you folks talking about myself if I imagined I were the only person in the world with needs like mine. But I bet there are plenty of us. I very much resent you guys trying to write the obituary of the WYSIWYG page creation program. As far as I'm concerned, it's as necessary a tool as it ever was.

Nice CSS3 features. Great new version.

With apps like Espresso and Coda available, there is hardly any reason to use this bloated and overpriced app. It is sluggish, it's FTP functionality is average at best, the text editor is poor when compared to others (i.e. horrible snippets functionality), it's "live preview" is tedious to use and the app is also rather cumbersome to use with a dual screen setup, which can be done wonderfully with, say, Espresso or even CSSEdit or Textmate. With the $400 that DW costs, you can buy yourself Expresso 2, Transmit 4, MAMP Pro, VMWare Fusion and a Home Edition of Windows 7 (to test your sites in IE) and you would still have some money to buy a couple of books on HTML/CSS/JS. That's far more value than DW will ever give.

Can't update. "Update is not applicable" Oh well Coda's much better anyways.

And I remember PageMill. SO if Dreamweaver is so lousy, what's the best alternative? I use Freeway and it seems okay for what I do: simple sites.

Ah Dreamweaver, I always install it when I get a new version of Creative Suite. It's always uninstalled shortly after. There are so many superior alternatives to this outdated app, I'm surprised anyone is still using it. WYSIWYG building of websites was always a pipe dream that one that basically fell apart at least 8 years ago - now more than ever you really need to hand code to be a web designer. And DW is rubbish as a text editor - the FTP is also lousy and unstable. Just use Panic Coda.
