Dreamweaver®
What is Dreamweaver®?
Adobe Dreamweaver® is a web development application originally created by Macromedia®, and is now developed by Adobe Systems. The popularity of Dreamweaver is that it offers both a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) mode as well as a code-based web design mode which makes it user-friendly to coders and non-coders alike.

Dreamweaver® CS3 is no longer available from Adobe; the new version is Dreamweaver® CS4. The “stand alone” educational version of Dreamweaver® CS4 retails for $199; Dreamweaver® can also be purchased as part of a number of higher priced Creative Suite® options.
