I want to make a slideshow of 6 to 8 slides to post on my website via Dreamweaver hightlighting my art work. My tech skills are not advanced. What Adobe program is best to use in my case?

Thank you.

Hi @Vincent16B6,

The question is do you want to learn something or do you just want fast & easy?

 

The best way to learn is to code manually in DW with HTML, CSS and JavaScript (see the how-to instructions below).

If you just want fast & easy, use a widget like this one from Wow Slider (license required for commercial use).

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much Nancy.

Working with code is beyond me, so I took the easy route via WOW.

I made the slide show, now I'm working on getting it into Dreamweaver.

We'll see how that goes.

For me any new project you want to try to move on from jQuery (Despite how much I have loved jQuery over the years) and go more native JS as much as you can as a goal for websites and any web based application solutions something like vue.js and react,

 

With that there are a number of native supporting solutions such as swiper js.

Swiper JS is not only lighter than most other solutions with the feature set, it has rich options, documentation and if you look at the demo's it can do a lot more than what you think it should.

Adobe Dreamweaver uses the Bootstrap framework which has a carousel slideshow option code snippet that you can insert on your page or you could Google 'Codepen slideshow' which will pull up many options where you can copy the code and paste into any html editor, paid for or free.
