Hello folks,
I’m building my first web page and I see I can use Image ready to slice it, create rollovers and links also. I guess these functions are intended for preparing the page to DW work.
But considering that the slice tool create cells perfectly "packed" in DW, honestly I don’t see what’s the use of Dream weaver. I plan to use it only to write texts and to publish the site, not for assembling the page.
AS A NOVICE, I ask you if is this the right approach? Am I being very smart in avoiding to fight against Dream weaver cells reluctant to appear the way I want them to appear?
Or am I just a deluded, unaware of problems I’ll have to face later because of lack of DW command? My site has the easiest structure possible.
Please tell me why one should work with Dream weaver if Image ready does all the work in advance with the wonderful slice tool.
Thanks! Giuseppe Rome

Dreamweaver has a lot more to it than putting text on an HTML page. Why don’t you investigate the other 99% of the program’s capabilities? And uploading the site can be done in a hundred other ways.

If you just have a simple web site and no intention to get more adventurous, you can forget DW and its learning curve

However it does integrate well with Photoshop/ImageReady – it did before the merger actually.

Giuseppe,

When you create a page in ImageReady, it is made up entirely of graphic images. This has two main drawbacks:

1. It makes large file sizes that take time to download and
2. Search engines will never index the pages.
