Amazon.co.uk Review
Dreamweaver is one of the few visual Web-design tools to find favour with Web professionals. What designers want is fast visual design tools that generate code which works on multiple browsers and platforms, along with the ability to hand-tweak the underlying HTML. This is exactly why Dreamweaver is popular. It is a well-behaved package that combines rich features with the ability to type in your own custom code. Version 4.0 is even better in this respect, with an enhanced syntax-highlighting code editor and an optional split view, so you can switch seamlessly between visual editing and HTML coding.The heart of Dreamweaver is its page designer, with floating tool palettes offering drag-and-drop insertion of elements such as images, tables and navigation bars. The Assets panel makes it easy to reuse images, links, animation and other elements throughout a Web site, with the added benefit that editing a library item changes it automatically wherever it is used. It is a very capable editor, but two features make it really shine. The first is integration with external editors, including Macromedia's own products Fireworks 4, for Web graphics (Dreamweaver 4/Fireworks Studio 4.0 combines the two products at a lower price), and Flash 5, for vector-based animation. The other killer feature is extensibility, with thousands of free add-ons available from Macromedia's site. Existing users will find Version 4.0 a great upgrade. Along with the improved code editor mentioned above, there is an excellent Java-based script debugger, integrated access to O'Reilly reference material on CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, built-in Flash buttons and text effects, table-based layout view, and team development with Visual SourceSafe. There is also the option to upgrade to Ultradev 4, for dynamic database access. --Tim Anderson

the pros choice comes of age May 13, 2002

i have been using and teaching dreamweaver since version 1. and so understandably have a bias towards it. i really couldnt reccommend any other software tool, for such an overall control and design of websites and webpages.
For the beginner there is a little work to be done, especially as the product increases in size with each release. but it is a fairly quick and satisfying learning curve to get the first site up and running, and from there its just a case of continual wonder.
the other great thing about dreamweaver is the openendedness of the product, its not a case of just what comes out of the box, theres a huge community of dedicated dreamweaver users and developers, and huge ammounts of extensions which can be found on the macromedia website.
the best choice.
very good indeed... March 6, 2001

Macromedia have done it again. This is an excellent programme for the graphical layout of webpages, which can be very awkward with tables for 'normal' human beings. The Table code is as clean as that written by a capable human and the stylesheets editor is good as well. Brilliant...
