Does Adobe offer more Dreamweaver Templates for download?

[AnotherMe]

I'm using Adobe Dreamweaver 2017. I have several templates to choose from in my edition of this application. My question is, does Adobe offer any more templates to download on Adobe's website? I'm running Dreamweaver on a Mac.

Thank you.

No.

But if you use the Bootstrap Starter Templates, you can customize the layouts to suit your needs.   Bootstrap is very flexible.

Bootstrap also has Bootswatch themes which provide a painless way to change the color scheme in your layout.  Simply replace the default Bootstrap CSS link with one of the Bootswatch CSS Themes on Max CDN.

Additionally, you can create whatever you need manually.  Go to File > New > New Document > HTML > Bootstrap and hit the Customize button.

Thank you.

Is Bootstrap a free open source tool?  Does it have a big learning curve?

[Preran]

To quickly answer your question, yes, Bootstrap is an open source tool and there isn't much effort involved if you know the basics of HTML and CSS. Dreamweaver's integration with Bootstrap helps minimize the time you require in customizing Bootstrap layouts.

We have had many opinions about the merits and demerits of bootstrap, but personally, I think it is one of the simpler ways in which designers can create responsive layouts without fussing too much over the code.

Thanks,

Bootstrap will save you time because it's much more than a mobile-first layout system.  The framework comes with a bevy of other goodies for things like carousel sliders, panels, forms, modal windows, buttons, navigation and much more. 

To use Bootstrap, you must understand its 12-box grid system and CSS clasess.  If you already know HTML & CSS code, the learning curve is not steep.   You can learn the basics in a weekend.  Start here: Bootstrap 3 Tutorial
