I use  an older version of DW...simple, standalone-- quick html changes..

 

That said with Mac M1,

 

for a person on AN APPLE Mac,  the  current  version of DReamweaver, 2022 --what option best looks like the current  Dreamweaver in Visual mode for someone on Apple. Thanks!

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Thanks Nancy --Ryack post is very confusing, your reponse here as well... I'm on a Mac, so maybe the the Microsoft idea is not great idea?  

 

Try again,   For simplicity, for a person on AN APPLE Mac,  the  current  version of DReamweaver, 2022 --sorry mentioned that. CURRENT version of DW  (not 😎 ? For a person who is on a Mac  what of these options best looks like the current  Dreamweaver in Visual mode for someone on Apple. Thanks!


VS Code is available for use on Win, Mac and Linux OS.   Since this is an Adobe product forum,  I'm not going to discuss other code editors.  It's up to you to decide what you like/don't like.

 

As I said at the start, DW CC is sold by subscription only.  It works on Win 10, Mac Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey.   There's little more to say except TRY it free for 7 days.  If you like it, great!  If you don't, cancel it before it converts to monthly billing.

Thanks Nancy darn... the rip off of creative cloud.... I spent $10 for PS/ LR,  ok!  To me DW should be another $10 or really just a $5 add on.... not $55 month... So annoyed on that..   not whining, stating my opinon. Nothing to do with you. Love your great help thanks.

 

Ok been exploring your list, whch have had long time. SEems Wapple went from free to More expenseive than DW itself..

 

So looking at ATom.. these are all called, "text editors"... So I don't see anytying that looks like DW where see html image on left side pane.. Bummer.. But keep looking...

Atom is discontinued.  Don't waste your time with it.

 

Photography Plan is a deeply discounted bundle for $10/month.   The regular price for Photoshop alone is $21/month.  Dito for Dreamweaver.

 

Pinegrow is closest to Dreamweaver in terms of a visual editor. But it lacks site management & FTP features. I think they still have a free trial so you can try before you buy.

    Nancy what about Nova, owened by Panic, and I use happy with support get from TRansmit  

    Don't need FTP anything, just want window that looks like visual window of DW.... do they both / neither achieve that?  Dont' see an example either site  (Pinegrow or Nova)  that look like that DW page..... ie see html visual webpage, with images and text on it with links, and  edtior for those links, .. ie very wsiwg... intuitive..

    Is there a standalone DW I can by?

    No.

     

    A subcription to Creative Cloud is all that's available.

    https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

     

    Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Creative Cloud apps work on the latest OS, no more than 2 versions back:

    • Windows 10 versions 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported;)
    • macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina).

    Beware of fake Adobe reps who may contact you privately offering to sell you software or take control of your computer. It's a scam, run away! Real Adobe employees will never reach out via Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail or Skype.
