Ask David question: “With Dreamweaver being phased out, what alternative should I use to build my website?”
For many web designers, Adobe Dreamweaver was once the industry standard for building websites. But in recent years, Dreamweaver’s dominance has faded. Let’s explore the current state of Dreamweaver and introduce UltimateWB as a compelling alternative.
Dreamweaver’s Uncertain Future:
While Dreamweaver remains available as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, updates have become less frequent. Here’s what raises concerns about its future:
- Reduced Focus: Adobe seems to be prioritizing other design tools like Figma and Adobe XD, which may indicate less focus on Dreamweaver’s development.
- Subscription Model: Dreamweaver is only available through an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, which can be expensive for casual users.
- Steeper Learning Curve: Dreamweaver requires coding knowledge, making it less user-friendly for beginners.
