Powerful visual aids: Take advantage of the precision you’re accustomed to in other design
programs through Dreamweaver’s guides, rulers, measuring tools, and customizable positioning
grid. Dreamweaver’s Design-Time style sheets let you customize the look of your page
exclusively for the editing process, making layout quicker and easier without permanently
altering the page’s appearance.
Rulers, a document grid, and guides help you to size and position page items with precision.
CSS panel: Take advantage of the vast design and formatting options that CSS provides
through Dreamweaver’s full-featured CSS panel, which lets you create, edit, and manage styles
on-the- y from a single panel.
How web sites work
Before embarking on the task of building web pages (and in turn, a web site), it’s a good idea
to know the basics of how web sites work, how your users view them, and what you need to
know to make sure your web site looks and works its best.
