What is Adobe Dreamweaver?
Dreamweaver software is the latest version of the industry-leading web development tool, enabling users to efficiently design, develop and maintain standards-based websites and applications.

Why should I buy Dreamweaver?

Work with the industry's leading web development tool.
Use a world-class design and code editor in one tool. Manipulate pixel-perfect designs in design view or dive right into source code, or do a little of each. Trust that Dreamweaver projects will be understood and respected by any web professional.

Learn one tool, then let the tool teach.
Dreamweaver supports and guides users as their skills grow and web technologies evolve, facilitating easy and quick adoption of new technologies and methodologies. Build static sites or data-driven applications or increase creative control through richer CSS functionality, building skills along the way. Countless in-product learning tools, such as starter pages, reference content, and tutorials, help get users up and running within a few minutes.

Work with the technologies of choice.
Dreamweaver provides a platform- and technology-independent development environment that supports PHP, J2EE, and Microsoft .NET; runs on Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh; and integrates with industry-leading tools such as Flash, Fireworks, and Contribute, as well as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word and Excel.

Add video easily.
With Dreamweaver and Flash Video, it's a snap to place video content on the web. Drag and drop Flash Video into Dreamweaver to quickly incorporate video to websites and applications.

Simplify CSS.
The unified CSS panel provides a powerful and easy way to understand the cascade of styles applied to content as well as quick access to making changes without having to navigate a lot of code through trial and error. Easily work with CSS-based positioning in design view using new CSS layout visualization.

Get productive
Everyone is trying to do more with less and trying get more done in less time. Dreamweaver takes the hassle out of simple tasks like copy and paste. Use Dreamweaver paste special commands to import with existing formatting from a Microsoft Office product, convert to the CSS styles already associated with a page, or remove all formatting entirely.

Enjoy painless cross-browser development.
Build great-looking sites, and let Dreamweaver handle the details. To reduce browser errors, Dreamweaver provides a target browser check, and a page- or site-wide report that flags cross-browser compatibility issues. Cross-browser validation gives live inline feedback to the current document, so users can specify which browsers to target. In code view, issues are flagged with red underlining and Dreamweaver provides tooltips for easy fixes.

Integrate with essential products.
Dreamweaver integrates with Photoshop , Flash Professional, Fireworks and Contribute . From roundtrip graphics editing in Fireworks to importing Flash elements to creating templates in Contribute, Dreamweaver is at the heart of the cross-product workflow.
