Hi all,

2 questions really!

I have just about mastered Wordpress, adapting themes NOT making them!, and am looking for the next thing I should learn.

I know Dreamweaver used to be the bees knees years ago for making top notch websites but is it worthwhile learning it now?

I want to learn photoshop at one point and I am guessing it integrates really well with Dreamweaver so I might have a go at learning both.

If you where learning one Web Design tool would it be Dreamweaver? if not, what would it be?

Second question - how much should I be looking to pay for CS6 suite?? I am not a student so can't get the educational offer. also, can you still buy the CS5 suite (for less money!).

Any help on the questions really appreciated.

    You don't have to be a student all you need is a student who is willing to help you The academic license allows you to install the software on three machines. so your student friend can do an install on their machine and you can do one on your machine. The last time I checked The Web suite was running $450 which is really good for all it comes with heck out Adobe's web site. you should also check out Academic superstore.

    I've bought a number of software titles with the help of family who in my case are employed by the school system.

    BTW The one big advantage to learning DW is that it can shorten the learning curve to actually learning HTML / CSS and in fact learning how to actually build websites from scratch

    I used Dreamweaver when I first started designing websites over 10 years ago, I'd recommend it if you want to learn quickly. Like ronc0011 mentions above it will shorten your learning curve.

    Nowadays, I no longer have the need for Dreamweaver as I write the code in notepad, however I fire it up sometimes to get some specific code generated.
