What gives a website a professional look and feel is not the software used to create it, but the skill employed by the developer. Creating a professional looking website requires an understanding of HTML and CSS. You also need a good sense of design and colour coordination, as well as an appreciation of usability issues (such as how easy information can be found in the site, and how easy the site is to navigate). Without those skills, no software will produce the look and feel that you want. However, Dreamweaver is a very good tool for building professional websites. As long as you're willing to learn the skills of the trade, it's an excellent choice. Wes, Dreamweaver is an HTML editor; it’s a tool for doing a job.

I am a novice at web design and want to learn more about creating my own sites. I am a fairly quick study with learning new software. My question is will Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 be a good introduction into creating my own sites that have a professional look and feel, or should I begin with another software program? Thanks for any info you can give! Hi David.

Judging from what happened with CS3, I expect the actual software will be available approximately three or four weeks after that. Adobe is making an official announcement on 23 September.

Adobe made the announcement nearly a year ago. I don't use ASP.NET, so the decision makes no difference to me. I shall certainly continue to use Dreamweaver. The changes in CS4 make a huge positive difference to my workflow. Adobe has probably made its decision on the basis of research about the impact on sales of dropping support for ASP.NET. Only time will tell whether that research was more accurate than your gut instinct. John, you’re a bit late to the party with this complaint. Adobe made the announcement nearly a year ago.

I don't know too many people who like Visual Studio's interface. Dreamweaver does a much better job with .NET in its present limited capacity. Who is going to buy Dreamweaver once Adobe does this? Very bad move. It’s a huge mistake for Adobe to drop Dreamweaver support for ASP.NET. I don’t know too many people who like Visual Studio’s interface.

Looks like the new 'Live View' feature is just essentially 'Live Data' but with the ability to navigate code. You can now do this in Dw's Design View for WordPress files by using a snazzy extension for Dw called ThemeDreamer and it works with CS4!

If Adobe does tell me, it will probably be only one day in advance of the public announcement. Everyone will just have to be patient. When it’s ready. ;)
