With Dreamweaver CS5, you can:
Work with the most popular content management systems. Enjoy authoring and testing
support for third-party PHP-based content management systems like WordPress, Joomla!, and
Drupal. The Dynamically Related Files feature provides direct access to a page’s dependent files,
even for complex database-driven pages. Live View and enhanced Live Code offer accurate
previews of even the most advanced dynamic applications. Use Live View Navigation to follow
links to reach different application states, as well as view pages already on a live server, without
leaving Dreamweaver CS5.

Visualize and inspect CSS structure. Design and develop websites with more effective CSS
inspection tools. With the expanded and more powerful Live View, visually display and interact
with the CSS box model with no separate browser-based utilities required. Quickly and easily
disable and re-enable CSS properties directly in the CSS Styles panel for simplified testing.

Help ensure cross-browser compatibility. Preview dynamic web pages and local content with
multiple viewing, diagnostic, and comparison tools. From Dreamweaver, launch Adobe BrowserLab,
a new Adobe CS Live online service*, to preview your web content in multiple browsers and
operating systems. Navigate to an application state, such as a shopping cart, or freeze JavaScript-
generated interface elements in Dreamweaver CS5 and preview these states in BrowserLab.

Who uses Adobe Dreamweaver?
Professional web designers have made Adobe Dreamweaver the market leader in visual
web-authoring tools, using it to create engaging websites for more than 11 years. The flexible
development environment in Dreamweaver allows visually oriented designers to work in
Design view to create their pages. By beginning with the CSS starter layouts, they can easily
insert assets created in Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Fireworks® software, or interactive
elements created in Adobe Flash® Professional software. Using Live View in Dreamweaver,
web designers can preview and interact with their pages as they will appear in standards-based
browsers, making troubleshooting a more visual experience. Due to the extensible architecture in
Dreamweaver, designers who want to add Ajax-based interface elements to their designs
without writing any code can download third-party extensions from Adobe Exchange at
www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange.

Web developers, who generally work in a more code-centric environment than their web
designer counterparts, rely on professional coding tools in Dreamweaver to build not only static
HTML pages, but also advanced web applications using back-end languages such as PHP and
Adobe ColdFusion® software. As web developers build sites upon popular content management
systems, they will be able to work on individual “pieces” of the dynamic page while seeing the
completely assembled page in Live View. Developers working within Code view quickly leverage
timesaving features such as code hinting, code completion, and code snippets for their chosen
server model as well as for client-side scripts written in JavaScript. Regardless of the language,
developers using Dreamweaver are confident that their code is written as they expect—but
should a syntax error inadvertently occur, real-time highlighting allows the developer to quickly
spot and correct the problem.
