What Adobe Dreamweaver is
Adobe Dreamweaver is paid web-authoring software for macOS and Windows. Adobe lists a 7-day trial but no free plan. The product includes database tools, an extensions marketplace, and deployment previews. Dreamweaver is available through several Creative Cloud arrangements. The Dreamweaver Single App option places it in a single-app membership. Creative Cloud Pro combines Dreamweaver with more than 20 Creative Cloud apps and uses annual billing with monthly payments. The Business option combines Dreamweaver and other Creative Cloud applications with license management. Adobe was founded in 1982 and lists its headquarters in San Jose, California, USA. Users can choose the trial or a Creative Cloud membership, then install Dreamweaver on a supported macOS or Windows computer. The listed capabilities cover database-related work, extension access, and previewing deployments before publishing.
