The software works through a mix of visual editing and HTML editing, which means it shouldn't have too steep a learning curve for most users. Additionally, while coding your own website design requires you to put in more effort than simply using an existing ready made template, at least you have the chance to ensure you get the look you actually want, rather than trying to work around someone else's design specifications.
A particularly good feature of Dreamweaver is that it allows you to produce a responsive design, which means your website can be optimized to display on desktops as well as mobile devices, without limiting the user experience. However, if you are a more advanced user you may be pleased to note that Dreamweaver provides multi-monitor support for Windows.
Additionally, there's also support for Git to allow you to edit source code directly from within Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is available as part of Adobe's mid-range packaged app subscription service, Creative Cloud, which also includes Photoshop. Read our full Adobe Dreamweaver review.

Better still, there are so many free add-ons available to download and install, often requiring nothing more than a few clicks.
This makes the whole process of customizing your website very simple, and it does not require any professional skills. Overall, WordPress is a very easy CMS to use, and can provide a very quick way to get any form of website online fast. The huge variety of template designs and additional community supported features mean that getting something which is near the mark of what you want isn't hard at all.
