5.0 out of 5 stars So Easy A Non-Nerd Can Swing It, January 5, 2008

By	Regina McMenamin (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After doing hours of research about which program I should use to create a website, I learned that DREAMWEAVER CS3 is the gold standard of professional web designers. Skeptical that someone like me -- with zero experience and little time -- could make it work, I downloaded a free 30-day trial version of the program from the Adobe website. [...].

Guess what? It worked! And in less than 15 minutes I had a website, albeit a very boring one. Still it was up and with the site wizard's instructions I was able to easily spiff it up in an hour and felt confident enough and excited enough about working with the program that I bought it from amazon (cheaper than the Adobe site!) and asked for over night delivery.

I am thrilled that I did. The program is incredibly easy to use. My site is now far from boring. Search engine optimized, neatly organized and professional in appearance, my site is exactly what I always wanted. I cannot believe I made it in only a few hours.

I recommend that those interested in this program start with the free trial version and the site wizard's easy instructions. If you like the results, buy the full version and the book "Dreamweaver CS3 The Missing Manual," also available on amazon. Though not necessary for seasoned professions and as thick as a phone book, the Missing Manual is a spectacular resource for a non-nerd like me who has BIG website dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars EASY / WORKS WELL WITH LEOPARD, June 25, 2008

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for amateurs, June 15, 2009

By	Amos the Magic Dog's Owner (Alice Springs, Australia) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent program, but don't be fooled, it's not for beginners. I have been using computers and design programs like Photoshop for over 20 years but this program has beat me. Despite what they would like you to think this program is in no way easy. I watched online tutorials for days, weeks even, and tried to work through setting up a site and in the end I had to give up. Unfortunately there are no experts on this program near where I live or that would have helped enormously. If you are thinking you'll work through this yourself, and have little or no experience in web design, be warned... line up a 'plan B'.
