What is Dreamweaver?
Traditionally, there were basically two types of software tool which could be used to create web pages. The first type allowed you to edit the code which produces each of your pages. The second type offered you a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface in which you could work with the text, images and other objects as they will appear on your pages. As you do so, the program automatically generated the necessary code.
Dreamweaver originally fell into the second category. However, the fact that it now has excellent features for site management, code editing and collaboration means that it also falls into the first category and may help to explain why it has become an industry standard tool for website development.
Dreamweaver contains all the tools you will need to create, manage and update a web site. Web sites can either be created from scratch or, if they already exist, pages, subdirectories and images can be imported and converted into a Dreamweaver site.
