Chose Adobe Dreamweaver
Google Web Designer is what I used to use but Dreamweaver was better. Google did not offer the functionality I needed. Google was also messy and had limited design options. Google seems better for creating animated banners or animated photos, but not for designing a full …

One of the issues I've had is our company newsletter. I use MailChimp to send it but the template I chose does not work well in MailChimp. My work-around is that I host the template in Adobe Dreamweaver and then code the new newsletter content in the tool. This allows me to choose the "Code Your Own" option in MailChimp. I simply paste in the code, make any tweaks, and then I can send it to my subscribers.

Adobe Dreamweaver is probably the best software for students because you don't need to know HTML, or CSS to use it. However, once you learn it, it fits like a glove. The interface is comfortable, the options, the ability to edit webpages live, and the error tracking ability are great. When you move on to JavaScript it's still a great interactive software. Of course, there are far better JavaScript editors. There certainly are areas to improve, and there's free software out there along with some browser-based ones. I'm not married to Dreamweaver, but it's easy to become content with it.

  • Negative impact due to lack of ColdFusion support
