Hi drewanderson...

I use both Photoshop CS4 Extended and Dreamweaver CS4 to design my sites and the sites of my clients.

The cool thing about using PS is that you can design the site, slice the PS image using the Slice tool, and then save it as a HTML file using File-->Save For Web and Devices.

PS will create an image folder and the HTML file. This is cool because for those individuals that like to "view source" to "steal" layouts, they won't be able to because most of the HTML coding will be image files that was created in Photoshop.

However, I use Dreamweaver CS4 in case I need to hyperlink a part of the image, put in an "opt in" box, etc.

I also use Dreamweaver for designing sites that have long salesletters. I haven't found out how to do a salesletter site in PS, but I will, if it can be done.

I can design sites...but I need a good copywriter to write the salesletter. I am not great at writing killer salesletters. I'm OK, but not great like some warriors on here.

Hope this helps.

Pavon

Hey Drew,

I've been building web applications for going on 12 years now. Dreamweaver has been top of my list for many of those years as it has a great WYSIWYG interface which makes laying out websites real easy (although I prefer working in code mode myself.)

For more complex line of business application I use Microsoft Visual Studio, ASP.NET and C# as creating complex business applications needs a good object orientated approach to design.

These days however, with the phenomenal growth of open source blog and CMS platforms, I create all my niche market and money sites using either Drupal or the Wordpress platform. They are both extremely well optimized for SEO, don'r require and coding, have massive template / theme libraries and a huge number of additional modules you can plug in which enables me to setup a niche site in under an hour.

Photoshop is by far the best graphics tool for photo editing logo creation etc, but it's expensive, a good free alternative is Paint.NET or Gimp.org

Cheers
Nick

I've moved away from using Dreamweaver, but the same is true of me: most of the designs I am involved in start in Photoshop, then I code them to make a final product.

The idea that Dreamweaver is a "one stop shop" for all your web design needs, is completely baseless.

Yeah I agree. I have noticed that they include a hellacious amount of tools that would take an incredible amount of time to learn all of them and even then there is no reason you would ever need to use them all.

I have designed blueprints on a program called AutoCAD AutoDesk that is similar to DreamWeaver in it's complexity and they include so much that it would almost make more sense to break the product up and let people choose what features they need so that the cost is lowered and they can tweak the parts that people really use a lot.

Thanks for all the feedback friends. Much appreciated.

I agree. I stopped using DW years ago.

I use Photoshop and Fireworks for the design. Then I code up the HTML/CSS from scratch in Komodo. And the only thing Komodo does for me is tag folding and highlighting. Works for me, though... I like clean, cross-browser XHTML/CSS.

... but that's just me.

I do like Snagit.. Been using DW and Photoshop for many years now, but if I want to grab an image really quickly and throw it on a site, I just use Snagit. It was created by the same folks who created Camtasia I believe. I got the bundle for like $324 (both snagit and camtasia studio) Love their products.

i always use photoshop for designing the "aesthetics" of my site - but the coding/development i normally use either notepad and/or dreamweaver around a Joomla core

building a site purely from images will be detrimental to any onsite optimization you intended to implement...

i cant see how that guy with a successful web business would be able to manage doing websites just with photoshop? Doesn't add up... he would at the very least need to have some kind of code editor if not at least notepad... photoshop is not a an efficient way to do web development as far as i am concerned...

Okay...I have to reply....

I have been developing sites, now for over 15 years and I still have an original copy of dreamweaver and photoshop on my old 486...

Photoshop is fantastic for prototypes, if anyone wants my layered files that I use, I will toss them to you.

I am only speaking for myself, but when I create a site from scratch, it's great to keep myself in line from the get go with my "acceptable with and height" frame....from there I go nuts and then just cut and code after the client signs off on the prototype...

A bit old school, I realize, but fireworks and the like with the naming convention has never been a great help...

Download the free trial for both, but just be careful to use the tools as they were meant to be used.

Lots of comparisons of dreamweaver to photoshop however they are two diferent kinds of programs. You create images in one and you create code in (html,css , php etc) in the other.

Long and short to the OP - your friend wasn't being accurate. I bet he does use something to code with even if its notepad. Yes Photoshop can put out code but youare going to end up with some text as an image which is inefficient and horrible for SEO.

I have used both software packages and both are great for different sets of tasks.

Sure you can design sites in both Dreamweaver and Photoshop. But you get more power out of either one depending on what you want user to be able to do.

Are you a designer? Or you need to have everything perfect or in the exact place? I would go with photoshop. With photoshop you can design the layout just how you like it. You can then turn the photoshop into a website by either handing it to your fellow website developer or slicing and dicing the template up to be used on the site.

Do you like tweaking the code on your page? Do you like to have forms popup on the page? Then I would use dreamweaver. Dreamweaver has some great server side tools that would allow anyone to build a (ecommerce) website (from scratch!) in no time at all. Well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it does give you the ability to do it from within the software without any previous programming experience. Photoshop doesn't give you that.

I would recommend figuring out what you're going to use the software for. If you like to edit photos, go with photoshop, if you like tweaking websites, go with dreamweaver. (of course there are other tools out there than just these 2)

Photoshop is an image editor (a pretty advanced one, so just calling it an "image editor" would be inappropriate, but will do for now). Dreamweaver, on the other hand, is a code editor.

Photoshop is where you design the layout of your website. Dreamweaver is where you code the layout of your website (and also code the server side stuff, but I'll leave that out for now). Two different things.

You can design a website with Photoshop, and code it using any programming text editor, not just Dreamweaver. Many people create and slice images in Photoshop, and hand code it in a text editor. Same goes for programming.

This is my understanding of using the two together. For anything more than a basic design, you usually don't just sit down and write code with no idea of what the finished site will look like. That's where Photoshop comes in. Design and layout in PS and then code in Dreamweaver (or other text editor).

Professional designers don't use the HTML that Photoshop produces but it is a good tool to create a visual reference when you start writing code.

Yes. However, there is a lot of difference between creating a basic structure in HTML and a basic design in Photoshop. The tasks that Photoshop and Dreamweaver let you accomplish are almost mutually exclusive.

Photoshop is for design. The "actual" graphics that you see. If a site needs any "image" for its layout, then Photoshop can kick in. Look at (http://www.warriorforum.com/images/misc/background.gif). That's the image used in Warrior Forum's background (in the sides). For creating such things, you use Photoshop (or anything equivalent).

The reason graphic designers create an entire layout in Photoshop alone is so that they can how all the elements look when put together. It's the way the site will look in the end. And that's the only purpose it serves. Other than that, every piece of graphic element has to stand on its own, and has to be put together using HTML/CSS.

HTML/CSS is what puts the various elements (or "images", rather) of your design in the right place, and also making way for writing text (just as you visualized in your Photoshop prototype).

In reality, design never starts with Photoshop or HTML. It starts with a block layout (since we have to stick to the limitations of HTML). This is where you decide proportions. Then you create relevant images, put them together in Photoshop to see how they look together. And then you use HTML to really put them together.

It's not that HTML can create only basic layouts and Photoshop can create more complex ones. HTML layouts can be, and are complex in many cases. Photoshop only kicks in when you need to add a graphical element to your page.

In short, Dreamweaver vs. Photoshop is making the wrong comparison in the first place.

Revolves

Guys make your lives easier. Design your site using Photoshop, slice up the sections such as header, sidebar etc., and place those images into a template in Xsite pro.

This is the largest thread containing the most posts purely to get post count up I have ever seen on the WF.

Yes, you can JUST use photoshop to create webpages WITHOUT any other software. Code is total crap but if all you want is a visually oriented website with some links to content that wont get in SE's it will work.

I have never met a programmer that can draw or has much in the way of creative right brain processing which is vital to being able to create appealing visual presentations or graphics. So from that stand point I would NOT recommend photoshop for your programmer friend.

It's not a choice of which one, as the 2 programs have nothing in common.
Photoshop is used for creating the GRAPHICS for a site, creating the graphical mock-up. PS does not do HTML and you should not use that which ImageReady spits out.

Dreamweaver is a tool for web page creation - that means the html and css for a site. If you don't know HTML now and cannot create a page with notepad, then Dreamweaver isn't going to help you build a good site. Learn HTML from the ground up first, then learn CSS to go with it.

Then you use BOTH programs to create a site.

They are completely different software. Photoshop for design, dreamweaver for coding.

Photoshops export as html sucks, better to just slice the neccicary images and build all the code in dreamweaver.

Fireworks is better for slicing if you have it - you can load your psd into fireworks.

My design flow:
Wireframe in fireworks (because it has precise measurements and easy resizing

Export wirefram to photoshop and make it pretty!

Load completed design back into firewworks and slice.

Build html css in dreamweaver.

Photoshop,
it's easy to design website ,
but need to convert it into html and css,
on that case Dreamweaver is essential.

Thanks

Photoshop + Notepad++ or Vim.

If there was a WordPress IDE available, I'd prob use it. However there isn't that I'm aware of... and why create my own php CMS when I can use one that has 11 million users creating tons of free open source code everyday.

Seems a little counter productive. Sure if I was going to create a clients massive system that needs to support 500 staff plus a massive relational database, then I'd probably WANT to do that, but being I don't have clients that need that and I'm just selling crap online... WordPress is the way to go.

Photoshop & Notepad++ for me

Thanks
