Another benefit to using Dreamweaver's fluid grid tools is that they can also be used to create HTML 5 user interfaces for Windows 8 Metro applications. It's a surprisingly simple solution to a relatively complex problem - Dreamweaver handles the media queries, and all you need to do is create the appropriate page layouts and designs. If an element isn't needed at a particular resolution it can be hidden, and won't be displayed. Regions are then aligned them using Dreamweaver's column grids, and you can choose which regions display where, depending on the resolution of a user's screen. Once you've opened a grid layout, all you need to do is define the appropriate page regions, using DIV tags. Working with fluid grids is much like working with Dreamweaver CS6's template tools. Other users may find it harder to justify, but we'd recommend upgrading just for the improvements in CSS support - as technologies like CSS Transforms and Fluid Grids will help deliver the modern designs users are expecting.Ĭreating Fluid Grids that work on PCs, tablets and phones is now as easy as choosing a layout and defining the columns used Dreamweaver handles the media queries If you're working with HTML5 or with sites that need to deliver to multiple devices, then you're going to want to upgrade.

While there are plenty of new features, this is still the familiar Dreamweaver, so it's easy to upgrade from CS5 or CS5.5, with little or no learning curve. Despite the improvements in CSS support, Dreamweaver's minimalist approach to JavaScript libraries remains a problem, especially with the increasing importance of combined script and CSS frameworks. That's why it's good to see plenty of support for CSS3's more advanced features in Dreamweaver - including CSS Transitions. HTML5 is still evolving, but many of its family of standards are already in use. Dreamweaver has become the standard web design and development tool for many organisations, and Dreamweaver CS6 needed to respond to the way the web has changed, as well as the way it is changing.
