Do dreamweaver CC sites still work without dreamweaver?

I'm a student making a website with an insanely low budget of  $20.00 and I am planning on using Adobe Dreamweaver and the rest of the Creative Cloud suite on the free trial for a week(yes I am going to make a website in a week) and I am planning on not buying or taking any payment plan-I am just gonna use the software for free then remove it when the trial ends. My question is will the website I make in dreamweaver still work after I remove Dreamweaver from my PC? Because once I finish the site then I am use Microsoft Azure DNS and Microsoft Azure CDN to host it so will I still need Dreamweaver for to keep the site running?

If you see this post after December 1st of 2019, then don't reply because by then my deadline will be over.

Correct answer osgood_

You dont need crazy idiotic suggestions like what are being mentioned, Docker for instance. That is for team environments where everyone needs to be working with the same versions of what is being used, php, mysql etc. Please avoid taking advice such as this as it will take you a week to deploy Docker, even if you use the darn program that is being mentioned, Wappler. Wappler is a massive bloated bit of software, with many features, which will take you far longer to understand than the 7  day free trial they provide.

 

Just use pure html, css, javascript and a server language if required. Quite honestly l despair at the mis-information being spouted in this forum at times by some people who are on a high just because something is available to use which brings absolutely nothing to the party but more problems and more issues.

 

Pure html, css, javascript will work in any web editor out there. If you dont require any visual help and are prepared to write some code there are many freely available to use.

Why not go one step further and containerise the project. This will enhance development time and make deployment so much easier. For more, see https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-azure/why/

 

Want an IDE to speed up development, see https://wappler.io/. This is a video showing how to create a droplet in Digital Ocean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDszFHnQ0ic

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Here is the thing though: It is only me, 1 person, 1 human being, making a website, not a webpage in a week. As for Docker and Wapple.... I am making this website for FBLA competitive events competition Website Design(look it up) and I have to make the website by myself, using NO visual code editors like wix.com(where you drag stuff and it seems like coding but its not), but I can use things like Dreamweaver, or I can go basic and use NotePad. Like I said before, I have an insanely low budget and as I am typing right now, I am making the site; the week of November 24th is when I am making the site, and it's too far for me to go back. For deployment, I am planning on just uploading the site(with files) to Azure DNS and connect static assets to Azure CDN. I don't see how that might be difficult or confusing, but if you see something wrong with the idea please let me know.

Nothing wrong, merely making suggestions in case you want to move into the future.

 

Incidently, Wappler is no more than Dreamweaver, just a bit more tech savvy.

I should also mention that DW's proprietary features like Library Items and DWT Templates won't work in other code editors.   So if you won't be using DW beyond the trial, you should avoid using proprietary features in your site.

    Thanks but here's the thing: I am planning on using it only once meaning I make the site and then no more changing it. The only proprietary features that I think I'm using are the Forms you insert but I don't know. But thanks for the advice and help!

    There is no such thing as a DW site.  You don't need DW to keep native HTML, CSS and JavaScript files running.  Site maintenance can be performed in any code editor. Adobe Brackets is a free code editor but it lacks the site management features of DW.  You'll need some way of uploading files to your server.  I recommend Filezilla S/FTP client which is also free.

     

    Good luck with your project.
