Adobe Dreamweaver is a specialized software that bridges the gap between manual coding and visual design. It is often described as a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, meaning you can design a website visually by dragging elements around while the program automatically generates the code in the background. It supports various languages like HTML, CSS, and PHP, and it is unique because it offers a "Split View" where you can see your live website layout on one side and your code on the other.

While tools like Google Sites are for beginners, Dreamweaver is built for more advanced users who want full control over their site's architecture. It includes professional features like built-in FTP for uploading files directly to a server, code hinting to help you write faster, and support for modern frameworks like Bootstrap. It’s a versatile choice for developers who want the speed of a visual editor without losing the ability to dive deep into the source code.
