Customer Reviews:

Effective [Posted on 2008-03-23]
I gave this product 5 stars because it is the best available resource for creating complex web sites. I was able to create and place a site including video and other advanced features.

Having said that however, the documentation and help provided by Adobe is sorely lacking. In order to effectively use all the tools contained in Web Premium CS3 make sure to purchase the "Missing Manual" series of books as well. Relying on Adobe documentation and assistance will prove to be very frustrating.

An amazing Adobe product directly from Amazon... Of course it was good [Posted on 2008-04-19]
Pretty straight forward...

Adobe CS3 Web Premium is one of the most important toolsets of the trade. Buying directly from Amazon is one of the most comfortable (and affordable) places to buy online.

Reviews are great, but if you really want to see if this package is right for you:

1) Read through Adobe's site for each of the included products. Learn what's new and what you can benefit from. Find out which tools will best help you explore your potential and develop your passion.

2) Download a demo
3) Find a healthy handful of tutorials that you're interested in
4) Mess around and see what happens

CS3 is awesome!

Don't get express shipping [Posted on 2008-04-21]
The software is great and almost a neccessaty in todays design world. I still would beware of the Express shipping as they use UPS. I would give the sofware 4 stars and shippin 1 star but can't edit my rating, only the review.

Overall great, with some problems.  [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I am enjoying using this product overall... but I am having some major issues with using Adobe Acrobat 8. It keeps telling me to re-install the program to be able to use the features (like importing a word document to create a new form). I downloaded updates, etc.. and nothing seems to work. (I use Windows XP). It's extremely frustrating since Acrobat was one of the reasons I chose to buy the "Creative Suite" rather than just the individual programs I needed.

Stable, Powerfull, Essential & Expensive [Posted on 2008-07-16]
I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash & Dreamweaver for over 5 years now.

These applications have always excelled at what they do, and this package is no exception. It's also stable, and after 4 weeks I've had no crashing issues (be sure your computer meets or even tops the minimum system requirements).

The major "upgrade" I was expecting in this CS3 package was cross-application compatibility. To an extent that has been accomplished (the "relationship" between Dreamweaver & Photoshop is now very user-friendly and time-saving for example). But I was still expecting a little more integration between the others and would be unsure to upgrade from CS2 had it not been for Action script 3 and the range of applications (like many have said, it's a HUGE INVESTMENT for any freelancer \ small company).

I still miss ImageReady, though, and Adobe Bridge is something I'd rather live without.

That said, this is an essential product for anyone designing & developing websites or other creative content for the web (or print).
