• How Dreamweaver Works

  Dreamweaver allows users who are do not know HTML or any other computer languages to write web pages via a WYSIWYG editor, which is an editable display of what the finished page will look like. This allows them to edit text or other elements directly on the page and use drap and drop functions to move images and other elements around the page. Users can use this window for all of their editing, or they can use the text window, which displays the code behind the web page. Many users who have a moderate level of coding proficiency like to use both. When projects are finished, Dreamweaver's built-in FTP uploading utility can be used to move files from the local hard drive to an internet server of the user's choice.
