The full version costs $399, however, we are able to purchase it for $99 through the educational discount. The website also offers a demo of the product, so users can get a feel for its features, capacity and usability. I am including the link below. http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/ I hope this information helps you!

It makes doing straight html easier, especially if you are doing them on your own time and are tired. I just finished teaching teachers the basics of dreamweaver and everyone survived. I think one thing to remember is that one's website does not need to have the latest bells and whistles. I often wonder what happened to clean interface design. T Tommy B.
