"I converted a site with thousands of pages built in GoLive over several years to Dreamweaver CS3 in about 30 minutes."

Seattle Times, Glenn Fleishman, June 9, 2007

---

Dreamweaver CS3 makes it easy to apply best practices and accepted standards to ensure your websites and applications play well with others. Build CSS-based websites from the ground up with new CSS layouts, the unified CSS panel, and CSS visualization and management tools. Ensure more reliable and consistent performance with the new Browser Compatibility Check. Quickly integrate XML content using either XSL or the Spry framework for Ajax. You can also work more efficiently thanks to intelligent integration between Dreamweaver CS3 and other Adobe tools including Adobe Flash® CS3 Professional, Fireworks® CS3, Photoshop® CS3, Contribute® CS3, and Adobe Device Central CS3 for creating mobile device content.

As part of Adobe Creative Suite, Dreamweaver will continue to evolve as new browser capabilities and web standards emerge. In addition, it will remain closely integrated with other Adobe applications to take advantage of new creative possibilities.

Top new features and reasons to switch include:

Spry framework for Ajax

Visually design, develop, and deploy dynamic user interfaces using the Spry framework for Ajax. Add interactivity, speed, and usability while reducing page refreshes.

Spry data

Integrate data into web pages using XML from an RSS feed or a database. Integrated data can be easily sorted and filtered.

Spry widgets

Easily add common interface components such as lists, tables, tabs, form validation, and repeatable regions to web pages with widgets from the Spry framework for Ajax.

Spry effects

Easily add visual transitions to page elements to make them grow, shrink, fade, show highlights, and more with the Spry effects for Ajax.

Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks integration

Copy and paste directly from Photoshop CS3 or Fireworks CS3 into Dreamweaver CS3 to leverage assets from your prototype in your finished project.

Browser Compatibility Check

Save time and ensure a more consistent experience across browsers and operating systems with the new Browser Compatibility Check. Generate reports that identify CSS-related issues in a variety of browsers without needing to launch them.

CSS Advisor website

Find fast solutions to browser-specific CSS issues with the new CSS Advisor website, an online community featuring a wealth of user-contributed solutions and insight.

CSS layouts

Easily incorporate CSS into your project with the new CSS layouts. Extensive comments in each template explain the layout, so beginning and intermediate designers can learn quickly. Each template can be customized for your project.

CSS management

Easily move CSS code from inline to head, from head to external sheet, from document to document, or between external sheets. Cleaning up existing CSS in older pages has never been easier.

Adobe Device Central CS3

Design, preview, and test mobile device content using Adobe Device Central, now integrated throughout Adobe Creative Suite 3.
