Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Dreamweaver
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
- 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.
