Dreamweaver is in minimal maintenance status.  No new features are planned other than essential security updates. 

 

Alternatives for visual designers.

-- Pinegrow - https://pinegrow.com/
-- Visual Studio Code (free) - https://code.visualstudio.com/ + Live Preview Extension

ONLINE SITE BUILDERS:
-- Squarespace - https://www.squarespace.com/
-- Webflow - https://webflow.com
-- Wix - https://www.wix.com/
-- WordPress (open source) - https://wordpress.org/

Hope that helps.

I don't need new features. They only have to iron bugs out. So, sad to hear that.

 

OK, I will check the other alternatives, but a webmaster like me, using DW since the first Macromedia versions, will have a hard time finding a replacement.

 

Thanks so much!

Which bugs are you referring to?

From where I sit, DW works fine for most things: HTML5, CSS, JS, SVG, XML, etc...

The latest version of Dreamweaver is the May 2024 release (version 21.4).

 

Having said that, Dreamweaver is slowly dying. Try to find an alternative such as VSCode, or as I have done, Wappler.

 

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

Sad to hear that. But I need a WYSIWYG program to keep up my huge website if DW dies out. I cannot be dealing with codes ONLY, because I will go nuts in the process.

Have a look at using Wappler which is a low code editor. It is very easy to migrate.

 

I have created a few videos demonstrating using Wappler:
