Dreamweaver Elements - a possibility?

Hello,

I would love to use Dreamweaver, but I can't afford it. I could afford it if is was half price. And I could afford a cut-down version if it was priced similar to Photoshop Elements - and that would suite me because I don't need to create a full-blown professional or commercial website.

I wonder if there ever has been a Dreamweaver "Elements", or whether there is ever likely to be one?

Regards

Tony

Look at BlueGriffon text and E-Pub editor. BlueGriffon

The free version is very basic but it is similar to Dreamweaver in some ways.  BG uses a Firefox rendering engine and DW uses a Chrome rendering engine.   In Dual view, you can see both source code and design.

If you purchase a BG license, you get more features.  Also there is a free FTP plugin called FireFTP.

My advice? Just get Pinegrow and Atom. Atom is free, and Pinegrow Pro costs you a little less than half of what a single app license of Dreamweaver would cost you.

Pinegrow and Atom talk to each-other while you code or visually design, and update their contents without saving. You get modern support for all the new CSS (grids and flexbox), Foundation, Bootstrap, a really nice responsive design workflow, good support for javascript (even up to the point of testing/using javascript in the visual view of Pinegrow), and many other nice options with Atom.

Less money, and a better coding and visual design experience than DW.

This is a user2user forum which means that, officially, we do not know.

My advice is to have a look at Brackets - A modern, open source code editor that understands web design. which is a free2use product.

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