Previously I have mentioned dreamweaver as the proper software for web design. Today I am going to review it properly. Dreamweaver CS4 is the best software there is for web design. I know professional coders, web designers and even amateur web designers use it. The code the dreamweaver uses is just beautiful. it doesn't add as much useless fluff to the code as it used to. The old fashioned feature that dreamweaver decided to get rid off is layers(hurray) as layers are useless and just mess up the code I'm glad they gone you wont' believe that ta my school for our e-portfolios we had to use layers we had no choice! Anyway, you don't have to know css or javascript off by heart as a lot of that stuff you can do it manually through dreamweaver and the software nits the code for you ;)
Dreamweaver is not a hard software to use it is very easy to get a grip of. The uploading procedure is now easier than it used to be and managing your website is even more easier than it used to be. I like the dreamweaver because you don't get screw ups in your layout as the dreamweaver works very precisse. With dreamweaver you can create a log in script, members database, pod casts, forms and polls. I use dreamweaver and my friend who manages his 4 websites professionally uses it too. I recommend it to evryone who wants to do web design via professional software. I rate it 10/10 as it is just a Great product you can but dreamweaver for about $399 but if you don't have that kind of money get dreamweaver CS3 or CS2 they are awesome is well. Test it out download trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/ and see for yourselves. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
Its not hard to use as some people say, but it is easy and accurate you will create your job 75% more efficiently, accurately and faster than some cheap crappy so called "web design software's". I use dreamweaver myself and if you are a professional you should still use it. I have a good friend of mine who is an excellent web designer and he uses dreamweaver and his websites are amazing. On his websites he gets thousands of hits a day. I myself am really attracted to his design and they are in someway an inspiration to me. If you think you're too good or too crap for dreamweaver you are not.
What if I can't get a dreamweaver? Well then I recommend BB Edit. It is also an excellent web design software and I even seen it used by some Lynda Tutorials time ago. But if you can get a dreamweaver then trust me you want a dreamawever. Judge for your selves my friend google it get a trial and have fun using it. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
At school, many fellow pupils use a nasty little piece of software called Serif Web Plus, to do all their online web creation shizzlenits.
Great right? I mean, it's simple to use after all - but is it any good? Simply put... No. Not that I'm one to talk, but the code is shocking to hell, items are misaligned and misplaced, the code won't validate in a pigeon's nest (let alone in the official W3 validator), and heck.
If you're using the software's brother PhotoPlus, the chances are your designs will be so bleeding shocking no-one would approach your site with a ten-foot barge pole anyway.
The quote from the site rings rather hollow:
"Whether a novice or a seasoned designer, a hobbyist or commercial manager, WebPlus X2 offers interactive forums and blogs, polished animated photo galleries, podcast and cool YouTube videos, Flash animations, secure password-protected pages, easy e-commerce sites with partners including PayPal, and much more."
A seasoned web designer? They'd use Dreamweaver. They're not retarded. Sure it has fancy "Web 2.0" features, but in the scheme of things, if the site is absolutely horrific (shocking) then no-one will give a $*^% if you have a podcast or not.
You get my drift? Judge for yourselves. Google it. I refuse to link to such scum.
Overall I review this so called "piece of software as 2/10
