Why Professional Web Designers Use Dreamweaver
With so many options out there, in terms of web design software, including Microsoft’s FrontPage, the many open source options, and other commercial packages, one has to wonder just why Dreamweaver is the undisputed choice of so many professional designers.
And undisputed it is. In fact, around 80% of web designers use the package. Which begs the question: What is the hype?
Your Existing Code Stays
Many packages will automatically alter code when you begin using it on a partially coded site. Dreamweaver is different, because it leaves your code as you wrote it, unless you specifically request changes.
That means no accidental changes to the code you intended for your site.
Backed By a Solid Company
Dreamweaver comes from a stable of high-end software solutions, mainly in the graphics market. These are the same people that brought you Flash, and Freehand. Enough said.
Nifty Tools and Built in Features
Aside from html coding and editing, Dreamweaver has built in functionality for JavaScript, PHP and MySQL, and makes working with CSS simple.
Having all of this functionality in one place makes developing your site a much easier prospect.
Not only does it have features to help build your site, it has features to help test your site too. In fact, the latest versions come standard with a built in html validator. You can choose which standards you want your code to be, and it also has a built in checking mechanism, a one click solution to standards compliance. All you do is click a box market “Make document XHTML compliant.”
With so many features, combining the very best features, tools and time saving mechanisms in one package, it really is not hard to see why professionals prefer Dreamweaver, despite the cost.
While it is certainly possible to achieve these tasks without this package, if you were doing this every day, all day, would you want to make the extra effort?
If you are a novice, building a site for your business or personal use, it probably will not be worth the expense to invest in Dreamweaver. But if you are venturing into web design as a career, not only should you consider purchasing the software, you should spend some time learning how to get the most out of it!
