Still using Dreamweaver CC 2014 for Mac. I used Spry Menu Bar widget for Navigation bars and other widgets. It seems I can't find any widgets anymore. Can somebody help me on this. I now do sites for friends only.

Widget Browser is long gone.  Spry menus are not responsive or touch screen friendly.  Adobe removed Spry from DW in 2013 and replaced it with jQuery.

Adobe abandoned development of Spry years ago, which is not a bad thing as the code was horrible. For a modern web site, you have 3 choices with respect to Dreamweaver:

  1. Code the menu yourself.
  2. Use Bootstrap, which is more bloated than Spry, but at least the code is good.
  3. Use one of the handful of quality menu-building Extensions from a reputable developer. These are not free, but if you are a web designer, and/or have a budget, they could be one of the best investments you could make.

Extensions:

Maxi Menu Magic for Dreamweaver

Adaptive Menu Magic for Dreamweaver
