Updated October 26, 2018 21 21 people found this article helpful Adobe Dreamweaver CC is a popular visual development tool for designing, publishing and managing websites. It offers a lot of power and flexibility for both designers and developers. Dreamweaver's many features make it intimidating for beginners, but Adobe's onboarding experience is designed to help people new to the program get started. The software's advanced features make it possible to go from beginning web designer to professional in a short period. Because Dreamweaver is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) software, you can opt to design visually or with code. About Adobe Dreamweaver CC Dreamweaver CC is both a WYSIWYG editor and code editor for Windows PCs and Macs. You can use it to write HTML, CSS, JSP, XML, PHP, JavaScript, and other coding languages. It can read WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal templates, and it includes a grid system to do grid-based responsive layouts for three device sizes at once, which is an enormous timesaver for developers who work on sites for desktop, tablet, and cell phone browsers. Dreamweaver offers plenty of tools for mobile web development including creating native apps for iOS and Android devices. There's no shortage of things you can do with Dreamweaver. Before you write code, Dreamweaver encourages users to understand the different design techniques necessary when displaying content across mobile phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. Developers who work on websites for both computers and mobile platforms can preview their sites on multiple devices at the same time to see the effects of their page edits in real time.
