Review

When Adobe bought Macromedia many developers, designers, ideas men and users in general (professional or not), were worried about it. What will happen now with those incredible Web creation, animation and design programs? We have discovered that Adobe’s plans were not to generate a huge Photoshop with thousands of tools, but to produce a group of programs linked among them and to complete the functionality of its best products: PDF and Flash.

The idea is to produce a wide and attractive range of content and applications that, basically, offer all the necessary tools to the design work and audiovisual production, with a huge interactivity between them, as well as a future work standard. After these explanations, in part given by Adobe General Manager and President, we find out Dreamweaver CS6, one of the best products of Macromedia, reinforced with the huge Californian Company.

In chronological order this application is the 12.0 version, but it has been renamed as sixth launch of the CS saga and ends up making Adobe GoLive editor disappear. Dreamweaver CS6 is presented with a lot of novelties compared to previous versions. Therefore, we can notice that there is a new perspective which is focused on portable devices and which makes a strong bet on HTML5.

The most significant improvements are listed below:

• CSS3 Transitions: in Dreamweaver CS6 we will be able to animate the property changes easily and without the need to write one single line of the cumbersome code. With this novelty we will get to make effects that give a better aspect and higher life to the animation design.
• Enhancement in Fluid Grid Layout: based on CSS3, it will allow us to create compatible Web design with any other platform and browser, which will enable to achieve multiple window sites.
• Adobe Business Catalyst: Adobe’s unified lodging platform is totally integrated in Dreamweaver now. A Business Catalyst panel will connect the two programs in order to edit created websites and generate e-commerce sites.
• Improved compatibility with jquery Mobile framework: now you can design native applications for Android and iPhone iOS portable platforms. Thanks to this compatibility, it is possible to create applications for mobile devices in an easy way and substantially reducing developer’s workflow.
• Compatibility with updated PhonGap: we will simplify the creation and grouping of native applications for iOS and Android. By reorganizing HTML code, we will produce apps for mobile devices, and thanks to its emulators, we will check the designs easily.

But the main advantage offered by Dreamweaver CS6 is the perfect integration with the rest of programs of Adobe’s Suite, being really simple to work with Flash, Fireworks, etc. This interactivity will make easier the creation process and besides, it will save the tedious task of jumping from program to program or converting formats.

Another advance related to the compatibility deals with the different browsers which are currently in the market. Thanks to Dreamweaver’s Live View technology and with the help of Adobe BrowserLab, we can make advance preview of how our Web will work immediately and without the typical surprises after its publication. CS6 is totally prepared for the latest Web creation tendencies, so it has an incredible integration and support for content management system (CMS) such as Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla!

Regarding the interface, we will see that Dreamweaver CS6 has not changed a lot compared to the previous version CS5. It follows the same distribution as in previous editions, but the changes are inside. If you know other versions such as CS3 or previous, you will notice how the way of working has been improved and how easy is to create Websites now. It is not necessary to have information about FTP or URLs accounts to start working. In this sense, the templates of Dreamweaver CS6 have progressed and they are very useful in order to see what we need, as well as to discover how we will do it. This is a perfect example of the Adobe’s new easy-to-use philosophy.

Novelties and new tools aside, something which has surprised both critics and users is the step taken by Adobe toward something that, as we believe, they will try to impose to the following editions. Creative Cloud has come to stay and offers as many possibilities as limitations. For the first time, CS6 suite is provided by Adobe in a totally digital format and with the option to monthly renting.

This means that for only 50 dollars per month, we will be able to use all the programs of the suite without any restriction. At first, it seems a really considerable saving since Dreamweaver CS6’s Master Collection version has a price of 2,600 dollars. Comparing it, we will depreciate it in just four years approximately. However, taking into account that Adobe is offering a new suite every year, it will not be profitable.

Cloud’s advantages do not only concentrate on monetary issues, all the programs will constantly be connected to Adobe’s servers, so, in case you have any problem, it would be solved instantly thanks to the online support. The updates would act in the same way; we have to remind that we are hiring a service, not a specific program.

It is also true that Adobe ensures faithful professional users, who pay every month and save in the production and transportation of the physical format. As we have Dreamweaver CS6 to our disposal and without any restriction, the options are unlimited. From the programs compatibility and interactivity, following by the savings of working time, to the possible joining together of several applications in order to create one more powerful and with better resources.

It is clear that Adobe has known how to form a great package of programs in Dreamweaver CS6 and that this will produce big Webs, animations and audiovisual creations. Dreamweaver has progressed if we compare it with previous versions and, although it has complicate some parts of its way of working in order to give support to the new kind of products of the market, it is still as friendly with the user as before, and it has known how to keep this intuitive way of working acquired from the missing Macromedia. Dreamweaver CS6 is the best program of the market related to Web creation, and the most used among professionals all over the world.

PHP Nuke's opinion

The first thing we notice during Dreamweaver CS6 download and installation is the considerable weight increase which the program has suffered since the purchase of Macromedia by Adobe. From the 100 mega that version 8 occupied, to one Giga of space that it occupies now. This has produced a huge reduction in relation to the program lightness and power. Searching about this fact, we can see how gutting the task installer we find several programs referred and focused on Creative Cloud, whether we use them or not.

Once we have enter to the program desktop, we will notice that Dreamweaver CS6 offers the same features as the previous versions, and that to a large extend, it takes the same shape and distributions as most of Adobe programs. It is clear that the idea is to convert CS suite in a creation standard and the path is marked.

After the fusion of the Adobe programs with ones of Macromedia, the only thing to do is to join them in a way that they could end up working as one, and that is the idea that they are trying to get with Creative Cloud. If we are professional, the idea is quite good, but when we only use these programs for our amateur works, it is so difficult to keep a 50 dollar fee per month for a number of programs that we will not use. Most of critics to this way of renting programs come from this fact.

However, if we are professionals, we will be glad with absolutely everything that Dreamweaver CS6 has prepared for us. The joining together and the interactivity between programs are perfect and it will save more than one extra step at the moment of making our work. When it comes to the program, Dreamweaver CS6 offers us a big amount of tools in this sense. From previews of our Webs, to ways of working focused on new languages (HTML5) and new formats such as mobile phone and tablets, they offer new possibilities for the new tendencies of business.

In this aspect is where we have found the application that has impressed us the most. Thanks to Phonegap Build, Dreamweaver will manage our applications and it will return them compiled for all mobile operating systems. In order to try them, a simple code QR will be displayed in the screen and with any reader of our Smartphone, it will be ready for you to download and install it.

So we are dealing with the more complete Web creation program of the market. Very few times we could join “professional” with “simple” in a sentence, but the work of Adobe has been really good. It is not perfect, a little slow and with high weight, but we understand that all that is because of the good connectivity and interaction among programs. For all those who want to work in Web design, Dreamweaver CS6 is totally indispensable. For more information about this program, after its download, you can visit the distributor Website .

Conclusion

Dreamweaver CS6 is a perfect tool for Web pages creation. It is focused on Web work and design in mobile devices (tablets and smartphones). It offers formatting compatibility with other programs of the suite, which makes it easier at the moment of doing our work and allows us to save time.

Creating website , coding or even simple templates has been made easier using this tool

By Frank Kanyua

On Tuesday, August 25, 2015

Adobe has for years now been a top distributor of top programs that make life easier.. From Photoshop, now adobe has released version of the best web site maker Dreamweaver. Each and every new upgrade has more features built in. The new cs6 has a live view mode integrated into it which helps out, when you are done creating your site pages you can just hit the live view and it will immediately show you how your site would look like when it is done..

There is also another version of adobe Dreamweaver called CC and it is not that different from CS6.. The only difference is that with one of them , you have to keep paying a certain fee meaning when you stop paying the fee , the program will get blocked. I actually don't see the point in keeping on paying for something you bought. Acquiring Cs6 will prove to be very helpful since you can actually upgrade to later builds without having to add extra money. You will also have total control of the pages you create.

Cs6 also comes with free fonts for when you want to change you titles using a font, adding your own font is also very easy as you will only have to locate the saved font and click on add, multiple font formats are supported. The other thing about cs6 is that it creates a default folder where it saves all your work for later changes and analysis. After creating you r pages linking them to a testing server is also very easy as cs6 support almost all servers..

CONCLUSION

For secure and guaranteed success in creating and editing web pages cs6 is the main thing you want to consider using. You wont be asked to enter any private info, it will also not send or receives your progress as you use it.. Online or offline you can use all features of cs6 without any limit

 

PROS

•  the trial version has nothing capped

•  It has an added live view option

CONS

•  It is not free to use
