Dreamweaver is a web site creation software whose release date goes back more than twenty years and which is now marketed by the software publisher Adobe, mainly for developers. It is one of the main web design software on the market and allows you to design web pages thanks to its support of the main programming languages used on the Internet.

It is developed on a WYSIWYG format, an acronym of the English expression “What You See Is What You Get” which can be translated in French as “Ce que vous voyez est ce que vous obtenez”. This means that it allows beginners or developers who do not perfectly master the different web languages to benefit from a visual aid in order to easily establish a relationship between the code and the graphic rendering of the different pages.

As websites are now viewed on all types of devices including mobile devices whose screen sizes are significantly different from the computer screens on which they are developed, responsive design is more than ever a key element in development. It allows you to adjust the content of your website so that its display is adapted and pleasant on all types of devices and screens. Adobe Dreamweaver provides the user with the ability to control the display of its web pages on smaller screens through a preview tool, thus ensuring before publishing them, that the design fits all types of screens that will display these pages.

Adobe Dreamweaver provides users with predefined code snippets and templates to make website design easier and faster. It also allows you to import multimedia files from your computer to enhance your site and also to do so from the Adobe Stock online image bank (see our article on Adobe Stock for more information). When your development is finished, Dreamweaver provides you with the tools you need to transfer your website or its updates to the hosting server.

Adobe offers tutorials for Dreamweaver users on its site, organized by level of proficiency, to help both beginners get started with the software and advanced users improve their skills.
