...putting your mostly used icons in a separate favorites list, personally I don't use it, I did set up my favorites but the tool bar is perfectly set up and just as easy to navigate. This software i think is a bit overpriced but u can find it very cheap if u know the right places to look wink wink. I would reccomend to anyone wanting to design websites also it should be a first choice due to a a very easy to lean interface well worth the money and ...

The Dream Weaver of all Developers Dreams

Advantages: easy to use, fun to use
Disadvantages: not cheap, had features that are hard to implament

I came home from school and as it was a horrible winter day I went upstairs to the study to go and mess about on the computer. But there was one problem; my Dad was already busy messing around on it. It took several hours before he eventually got off the thing and when I went on I found out why. In the few hours that I had spent home after school he had managed to make a pretty nifty website with macromedia Dream weaver 3. This astonished me with ...
...to have a go, and soon after I had developed my own website. This goes to show how easy Macromedia products are to use. ~~ Ease of installing ~~ I have to give Macromedia Dream Weaver 3 a nice high mark for this; it was quick and relatively painful. Or what I remember of installing it was :o) There is the serial code thingy which can become confusing because they print the code in such a horrible font that you don’t know if it’s a number 0 or ...

Complicated but Simple

Advantages: Easy to use interface
Disadvantages: Appears complicated

...owned a version of Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 for about a year I think and although I only use it on occasion when I take and urge to make a website. I havn't used it for some time now though because I have been experimenting with Flash and learning all of its intricasies. I am writing this review not from the perspective of an experienced web designer, but from the perspective of a guy who enjoys making sites when he can be bothered, when he can ...
...can say that Dreamweaver is very user freindly and provides a WYSIWYG interface which allows for quick easy use to form basic sites, and with a bit of fiddling about a user can easily learn the intricasies of web design (although whether you'll be good at it I can't say ...

Tricky but rewarding

Advantages: Essential for anyone who wants to make an interactive multimedia project
Disadvantages: Can be quite confusing at first, expensive!

...in the air to whole Flash sites with interactive quizzes and streaming MP3 background music. The interface looks a lot like a conventional drawing program with pencil, brush, line, circle and eraser tools, and the blank canvas, but it's a lot more complicated than this. Each Flash movie is made up of a number of keyframes, and you make changes between each keyframe to create the illusion of movement (it's more complicated than this, but you get ...
...browsers already come with the Flash plug-in, over 90% of computers already have the plug-in and if not, the plug-in only takes about 30 seconds to download from the Macromedia site. However if your content isn't worth viewing - if it's just a splash screen or advert - visitors won't bother to download the plug-in. This software has other uses too, it's not just for websites. You can make a presentation small enough to fit on a floppy disk and save ...

Flash 5 - the next gen

Advantages: easy to use, fantastic graphic manipultation

I have been using Flash for some time now and have always relied on its performance as a vector graphics and animation web development tool. Flash is an excellent web tool for a number of reasons.
