Adobe Dreamweaver is one of the famous software to build an advanced website. On the latest version it is Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 we really do hope it will bring new useful features set worthy of its price tag. If we see here that VioSoftware sell this software $395.95 but Adobe System sell $399.00 and the latest one is OfficeMax sell this software for $399.00. From that kind of range, it should be very expensive software and give so many features on it.
And now the question is, how many new features that this software has than the previous version CS 4? The answer is NOT much. While the other Adobe’s Creative Suite 5 has some substantial improvements such as Photoshop, Premier and AfterEffects,
Dreamweaver like seriously stagnant from the previous version.

Dreamweaver CS5 is supposed to make CSS and PHP coding easier and it integrates with many popular CMS (Content Management System) such as Wordpress.
Dreamweaver CS5 splits its workspace up into three principal modes (although it does offer additional workspace configurations the same way other Adobe application do, there are Code, Split, and Design.
Dreamweaver CS5 splits its workspace up into three principal modes (although it does offer additional workspace configurations the same way other Adobe applications do); these modes are "Code," "Split," and "Design." If you've ever coded before, what you're looking at here should be fairly familiar. This is the front page of my personal site, consisting almost entirely of an image map. Truthfully, for this simple a design we do not need much time. Because in the "Design" mode I was able to do the entirety of the grunt work very easily to produce this simple page. Dreamweaver's automation handled the difficult parts.
If you're a more seasoned coder you probably already have some grasp on Dreamweaver, but presented for the sake of completeness here is the "Split" mode which shows you both the code and the site as you edit and design it, reflecting changes made between the two in real time.
Naturally since Dreamweaver is an Adobe product it handles integration with the other Adobe applications very easily, and even offers basic automated FLV (Flash Video) integration if you're completely paranoid like I am and hate the idea of having a license agreement with YouTube for your own material.
Adobe already had a pretty robust program in Dreamweaver to begin with. Heck, it was a pretty robust program back when it was Macromedia Dreamweaver, before Adobe bought out Macromedia. Given how solid it's been and how relatively unchanged it's been in the intervening period, it's tough to tell where Adobe really could have re-architected it; certainly it hasn't seen the kinds of overhauls that Adobe's bread-and-butter Photoshop has, or even Premiere (which threatens Final Cut Pro just a little more with each new version.) If the version you have works for you, I have a hard time recommending making the jump. But if you've never used Dreamweaver, it may be worth downloading the trial from Adobe's site and giving it a shot. The $400 price tag is onerous, but you get a heck of a useful and surprisingly user-friendly program for it.
