In this Dreamweaver CS5 tutorial you will learn how to build a website using Dreamweaver CS5.
Before building the pages using Dreamweaver it is a common practice to design the layout of the pages in an image editing software like Fireworks or Photoshop.
Dreamweaver is a great tool to help you build websites. It is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that helps you to create html pages visually (without knowing HTML coding).
Dreamweaver is the most popular application for building and managing websites. With Dreamweaver you can easily create tables, forms, CSS styles. You can also design your own templates and implement them on your website with a just a few mouse clicks.
Besides pure HTML, Dreamweaver also supports many other programming languages such as XHTML, PHP, ASP, JavaScript and CSS. Pages created with Dreamweaver typically have very clean and readable code.
Dreamweaver also tries to solve many compatibility issues between browsers. This ensures that your web pages will look correctly and identically in all popular web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera).
CSS3 (combined with the power of HTML5) is rapidly being supported by all the major browsers (read - anything except Internet Explorer), so I thought now would be a good time to see some of the cool CSS effects we can achieve using the power of your the browser and a little CSS code. You should be able to see all the effects demonstrated in this article if you're using the latest Chrome, Safari or Firefox browser.
Google Web Fonts lets you browse all the fonts available via the Google Web Fonts API. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and are served by Google servers.
Planning is vitally important before you start building your web site. The more time you spend planning, the easier it is to actually construct your web site. These design documents are referred to as storyboards. They sketch out what will be placed on a page, the types of graphics/images that will be used as well as the colors and fonts.
Why Storyboard a Website? Website Storyboarding will make the design process easier and more efficient. This will save you time and money. Storyboarding for a site will help you visualize the result of your project.

Everyone is urging you to make the switch from table-based layouts to tableless, CSS-positioned layouts. You've certainly been thinking about it, but CSS layouts seem so unintuitive. You've established a workflow with tables that, well, works. Why should you change? After all, browsers will always render tables, and you understand their methods and issues. All you have to do to get a design grid is fill out the Dreamweaver table dialog box. Would that it were so easy with CSS! Well, it can be-Dreamweaver includes CSS starter pages that provide a kind of CSS alternative to the table dialog box.
This tutorial is organized into three main sections:
- Basic Concepts: Basic concepts of CSS, including the syntax, how CSS is applied, the concepts of cascade and inheritance, class vs id selectors, and div vs span selectors.
- Properties: Commonly-used CSS properties are introduced.
- CSS Codes: A single-sheet reference for all CSS properties
After a somewhat slow start due to varying degrees of support by the major browsers, the use of cascading style sheets (CSS) has moved from simple text formatting to the de facto standard for page layout. Throughout this gradual evolution, Dreamweaver has regularly added and enhanced CSS features to support designers and developers alike. With the release of Dreamweaver CS4, new features such as Live view will completely change the way in which we go about designing CSS-based layouts in Dreamweaver. This article discusses best practices for using CSS and highlights specific CSS features in Dreamweaver CS4.
Cascading style sheets CSS is a collection of formatting rules that control the appearance of content in a web page. Using CSS styles to format a page separates content from presentation. The content of your page-the HTML code-resides in the HTML file, and the CSS rules defining the presentation of the code reside in another file an external style sheet or in another part of the HTML document usually the head section.
