Responsive Website Design

Dreamweaver excels at creating multi-platform (responsive) websites that work well on phones, tablets, or computers. Any web designer or company looking to replace an outdated desktop-like website with a modern multi-platform site will find Dreamweaver the obvious first choice. I’ll describe some alternatives later in this story, but none come close to Dreamweaver in terms of power and ease.

After more than 20 years of development, Dreamweaver still has some awkward points where it can't decide whether it's a tool for advanced programmers or visually-oriented designers, but serious users can easily resolve this—and Adobe's subscription pricing means only serious users are likely to get it. Dreamweaver isn't cheap, but for professional-level web design, it pays off strongly, and Adobe's subscription model means you get regular feature updates at no extra cost.

Adobe wants you to work using Adobe tools, so it's easy to use Photoshop and Illustrator for image editing or Premiere Pro and Audition for video and audio files. You can also use Photoshop to create a mockup of what you want your site to look like, then use the Extract menu in Dreamweaver to pull elements from the Photoshop file into your web pages. But Dreamweaver also works with any third-party site-building tool you might want to use. For instance, you can use Dreamweaver to design and edit sites managed by WordPress, Joomla!, or Drupal, or you can create a Git repository and use it to track changes on your site.

Dreamweaver uses the Bootstrap framework for responsive sites, and by default, it uses the latest version of Bootstrap, 4.3.1, although the previous version 3.4.1 is still included if you wish to continue using that. Dreamweaver guides you through upgrading sites based on the previous version and attempts to resolve incompatibility issues by creating new CSS and JavaScript files using the latest standard. Bootstrap sites are mobile-first responsive, meaning the Bootstrap framework is mostly optimized for phones or tablets, but the Bootstrap templates included in Adobe are well-designed enough to look good on both desktops and phones.

Dreamweaver Experience

First-time users face a steep learning curve, but if you’re familiar with Photoshop or Illustrator, you should be able to climb it quickly. If, like me, you get puzzled when looking for some obscure features, the help menu can guide you to the exact menu item you need, even when it’s deep in the menu structure. Dreamweaver uses the standard Adobe interface, a main editing window surrounded by a toolbar on the left and two multi-tabbed information panels on the right. Unless you’re an expert programmer and don’t need all the tools and panels displayed on the screen, don’t even think about using Dreamweaver on a small laptop. This application needs all the screen real estate you can give it.

When editing a typical, relatively simple website, you have at least four document tabs open, one for the current page, another for JavaScript and CSS files, and an information panel with at least seven tabs, showing files, Creative Cloud libraries, HTML tags you can drag into a file, a complex set of CSS controls, a document object model (DOM) tree, a list of assets (sorted into URLs, images, media, and more), and a long list of prebuilt and custom snippets. Add to that a customizable toolbar on the left and a densely populated menu at the top, and you get one of the most complex interfaces ever included in an application, rivaled only by other development programs like Microsoft Visual Studio.

Fortunately, if you’re a programming expert, or if you want a more expansive WYSIWYG display, you can hide everything except Dreamweaver’s main editing window. And this window is a chameleon-like marvel of flexibility. The window display options include a view of all the code with the indentation of a typical coding frame and color-coding to make your project’s structure visible.

You can choose between two types of WYSIWYG views. One is the Live view, which approximates what you might see in a browser, except with page elements outlined for clarity and buttons that let you modify tags for individual elements just by clicking on the element. The other is the Design view, which shows all design elements on the page, including those that might be invisible in a browser until a user clicks on them. Finally, you can split the window to show code in one pane and either Live or Design view in the other—or with code in both panes so you can view and edit two different parts of the code at the same time. Advanced options let you sync changes you make on the desktop with the code on the remote web server.

New Features

The recently released Dreamweaver 2020 looks and works just like last year’s Dreamweaver 2019. Adobe mentions only three new features: click-to-edit simplification in Live view, so you can edit text, not just tags, in Live view simply by clicking on a text element; new default settings for Japanese fonts; and improved code hint pop-ups. There’s no new learning curve, and the interface and other features haven’t changed. One simple potential stumbling block in the improved live view editing feature is that some keystrokes don’t work the way you might expect. For example, you can split a paragraph by pressing Enter in some text in Live view, but Backspace won’t recombine split paragraphs—you’ll have to switch to code view and remove the tag for the new paragraph.

Web editors have always had a feature that lets them preview their web page in a desktop browser. Dreamweaver does better by adding live previews on mobile devices—a crucial feature when you’re designing a responsive page that needs to work on multiple platforms. Click the preview icon at the bottom right of the editing window, use your phone or tablet to scan the QR code that appears in the preview icon’s pop-up menu, and enter your Adobe password on your device. After that, you can preview your code in your device’s default browser, with changes you make on the desktop appearing instantly. You don’t need to install any new apps on your phone or tablet.

Should you buy a Dreamweaver subscription? If you’re already using Photoshop or Illustrator or if you’re building a company or design-heavy site, Dreamweaver is an obvious choice. If you’re averse to coding, you can do what half the world online does and use WordPress to build your site by choosing a visual theme and using or modifying it from simple menus. You’ll need some technical knowledge, but you can get by with almost nothing.

If you don’t want to think about coding at all, use a hosting service that offers Wix or Weebly or any fully visual site-building environment that requires no coding. Be aware that you’ll sacrifice some customization and control. Weebly lets you change themes at any time, but it gives you limited options for text formatting. Both offer paid e-commerce options. You can also try a free version of the enterprise-oriented CKEditor system, which provides advanced features like collaborative editing, WYSIWYG editing, and complete control over your site’s code.

For smaller websites designed mostly for laptop and desktop browsers, you can use any of dozens of traditional web page editors like RapidWeaver or Coda on a Mac—but you won’t get true WYSIWYG editing as you do in Dreamweaver or browser-based systems like WordPress or Wix. Many traditional web page editors offer preview modes, and some (like Adobe’s excellent free Brackets editor) offer real-time preview in your browser, but this isn’t the same as full WYSIWYG editing as in Dreamweaver’s live editing mode.

My favorite fast and clean WYSIWYG web editor for simple sites is Microsoft’s free Expression Web, which runs on Windows only. It was once an expensive application but is now a free download because Microsoft stopped updating it after Visual Studio offered more advanced site-building tools. Expression Web hasn’t been updated since 2011, but its feature set still gets the job done for basic websites, and you can’t argue with the price.

Dreamweaver can be quirky at times. For example, if you click in the wrong place, the screen layout may suddenly change in ways that are hard to recover from without resetting the screen layout to default. The undo feature works perfectly when you’re working in the code window, but it doesn’t work in all contexts—for example, when you drag assets into a window using the feature that extracts page
