Dreamweaver is in minimal maintenance status. No new features are planned other than essential security updates.

Alternatives for visual designers.

-- Pinegrow - https://pinegrow.com/
-- Visual Studio Code (free) - https://code.visualstudio.com/ + Live Preview Extension

ONLINE SITE BUILDERS:
-- Squarespace - https://www.squarespace.com/
-- Webflow - https://webflow.com
-- Wix - https://www.wix.com/
-- WordPress (open source) - https://wordpress.org/

Hope that helps.

I don't need new features. They only have to iron bugs out. So, sad to hear that.

OK, I will check the other alternatives, but a webmaster like me, using DW since the first Macromedia versions, will have a hard time finding a replacement.

Thanks so much!

No, there have been bugs since the times of Macromedia. There is a special one corrupting the interface, for example. I have to scroll up and down to restore the text. It's difficult to explain without watching it in action.

OK, thanks for your help!

That's sounds like a GPU problem. Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 23H2, 22H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
MacOS 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura), 12.7.6 (Monterey).

Use Ctrl + Shift + F11 to toggle between LIVE & DESIGN view. LIVE view takes longer to refresh the screen between edits. DESIGN is more efficient for quick edits.

For Unusual Behavior, Restore Preferences.

The latest version of Dreamweaver is the May 2024 release (version 21.4).

Having said that, Dreamweaver is slowly dying. Try to find an alternative such as VSCode, or as I have done, Wappler.

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

Sad to hear that. But I need a WYSIWYG program to keep up my huge website if DW dies out. I cannot be dealing with codes ONLY, because I will go nuts in the process.

Have a look at using Wappler which is a low code editor. It is very easy to migrate.

I have created a few videos demonstrating using Wappler:
