Dreamweaver Works for Newsletters and Websites
I use Adobe Dreamweaver to write and create our monthly newsletter and other HTML projects. It is a great tool to be able to lay it out and see my work before posting it. I am a jack-of-all-trades so it is simple to use for all my projects. I like the fact that it comes with Adobe Creative Cloud and I can use it across multiple tools. If you work directly with code, you need to use Dreamweaver. It lets you work with HTML, CSS, and others. Just the fact that you can preview how the code will work is a huge selling point.
- Live View Editing
- Code Suggestions
- jQuery Integration
- files Panel for Multiple Projects
- Price
- Learning curve can be steep.
- There are better visual editors
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.
- The ability to write code directly into Dreamweaver.
- Live view editing
- Multi-monitor support is awesome when writing a lot of code
- We pay $600 a year for one license of Adobe Creative Cloud. Dreamweaver is included in that. It costs $99 a month for Mailchimp. I send out 4 newsletters every year. I average 15 inquiries a quarter for our product. Those 15 inquires result in average of 6 sales averaging $90,000 a quarter or $360,000 a year. So the investment of $1000 a year is worth it.
- The learning curve is steep. There are so many features and functions I still don't know. Depending on your files that you open, you could have different things to look at and it can be intimidating.
- It is really easy to get a lot of unnecessary paragraphs in my code. I have a terrible habit of hitting enter on my keyboard. This adds a lot of lines of code in the end and makes it difficult to identify problems in the end.
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 website or designing HTML.

Adobe Dreamweaver is a web design and development tool. We have used [Adobe] Dreamweaver in the past as part of both the design, development, and deployment of websites and web applications. The FTP deployment solution included with [Adobe] Dreamweaver makes administering legacy websites that do not utilize modern deployment implementations extremely simple.
- Website Organization/File Management
- FTP Deployment
- Design/Preview Mode
- Needs Adobe ColdFusion Support
- Dreamweaver Should become a full-fledged IDE
- Better source code tools like comparable IDEs
[Adobe] Dreamwevaer is suitable only for legacy websites at this point that requires FTP deployment. It is unfortunate that Adobe doesn't officially support their own development language, ColdFusion (CFML) in their own tools despite supporting other languages like PHP. As a result, I would not use [Adobe] Dreamweaver on any modern website project.
- FTP Deployment
- Intelligent Code Editor
- Design view
- Negative impact due to lack of ColdFusion support
- FTP Deployment is a nice feature to have for legacy sites
Unfortunately, [Adobe] Dreamweaver is an inferior website design and development tool by modern standards. While [Adobe] Dreamweaver has its place for legacy websites or for teaching young developers the basics of HTML and CSS, I would not recommend using it for any modern project. You would think Adobe would support its own development language, ColdFusion (CFML) in its products, but sadly it does not. Adding official CFML support would go a long way with Adobe customers and would be a tremendous addition to Creative Cloud and Dreamweaver as a standalone product.
