Customer Reviews:

Best tool a web designer could ask for! [Posted on 2002-04-23]
I can't say enough about this bundle. Whether you are a novice or a professional, Dreamweaver and Fireworks 4 will make your life a heck of a lot easier! As a professional, I rely on it to quickly work on new sites and update existing sites efficiently. It's ease of use, learning curve, functionality and abundance of free tutorials on disk and online make me wonder how Macromedia can price this so low! This is the definitive tool set for those wanting to make their web design much easier and quicker.

Dreamweaver 4
This does not excuse one from not learning HTML, JavaScript, and more. However, using this, you can learn as you do it by reviewing the code. This is the tool I used to learn (since Dreamweaver 1) web design. I'm now making twice as much as I was a professional counselor with over a decade of experience at my first corporate job! If you take the time to work the tutorials and have patience, you'll master it quickly. If you aren't as patient, you can still put up pretty decent sites.

Fireworks 4
My primary tool for web design graphics is PhotoShop and Illustrator. However, when I want to modify graphics while in Dreamweaver, I always pull Fireworks 4 to come to the rescue. It's quick, easy and makes life much easier.

Support for the product is excellent and again, this is the premium tool for serious web designers as well as your hobbyist. Buy it, you'll be glad you did! Try the free trial period for 30 days...

best of the bunch [Posted on 2002-06-12]
The best web site design tool on the market. After using frontpage for 2 years, I can say, without a doubt, Dreamweaver is number one and will be my only site design tool in the future. Cant beat the price for both applications.

Simply THE best web dev combination [Posted on 2002-06-15]
DreamWeaver Rocks. Fireworks Rocks. Together they make for a spectacular web design/development combination.

Dreamweaver is packed with features for the beginner through advanced web developer; it's easy and intuitive to use. It may take you a while to learn all the capabilities, but with each successive feature you discover and master, the development process becomes easier and faster.

Fireworks is the best in class web graphics software. It integrates very well with DreamWeaver. Creating animated GIFs is a snap, as is image optimization (file compression), image map creation, and exploring full tables (HTML and all!) for use in DreamWeaver.

You simply cannot go wrong with this package. Photoshop still has its place, but if you focus exclusively on the web and don't need to do exquisite image editing this bundle is all you need.

Saviour of All Web Geeks/ Gurus, Designers, & Techies [Posted on 2002-06-23]
The DreamWeaver / Fireworks combo is an Amazing & Wonderful way to design webpages, graphics, Retouch Photos, etc. I love my Adobe Photoshop, but nothing compares to Fireworks, for the Detailed work, converting Images to High Res/low K images that do not Bore surfers, waiting for the page to load (average give-up time = 30 seconds). With Fireworks, you can tweak your graphics, until they are Perfect, but keep the SIZE of the graphic down to a minimum, thus increasing your webpage hits, astronomically.
My wife is a Web Designer / Artist / Graphic Artist, who has trained at Lynda Weinman.com ( ISBN # 1562059491 ) in beautiful "Ojai, CA." My wife swears-by Fireworks & Dreamweaver.
Luckily, I learned a lot of the tricks of the trade & I was astounded at how-often I needed Fireworks & Dreamweaver in the profession I held (until I turned to IT), as a "Document Specialist."
In today's world of High-Tech, Online Docs, etc., even Administrative Assistants need Dreamweaver & Frieworks. As a Document Specialist, I used Dreamweaver daily, for a long time.
Fireworks, comes in-handy, as well, when the A.A.'s need to scan a Signature for their Boss, for documents.
Be the only person on your floor, who knows how to use Fireworks, and you will make yourself a much-needed employee. Your Signature scans will look better than everyone-else's and you may have a bit more job security.
Fireworks & Dreamweaver are not Just for Web Geeks & Gurus. Anyone who works in an Office environment should know these programs, and use them regulalry. Fireworks is the Greatest Graphics program I have ever used.

The ultimate in web design software [Posted on 2002-09-17]
Being a web developer just got a whole lot easier thanks to Macromedia. Dreamweaver and Fireworks are both excellent programs in-and-of themselves, but together they make a lethal combination.
Packed with features for anyone ranging from the most inexperienced beginner to the mightiest webmaster, Studio 4 is very versatile. This package is fun to use because it takes the headache out of web design--all you have to do is actually design, and Studio takes care of all the technicalities.

Fireworks is easy to use and, while not quite Photoshop, a very capable program. The graphics, animated gifs, and buttons you create are fully compatible with Dreamweaver, making it easy to use them on your site.
Dreamweaver is very user-friendly. All you have to do is organize the components of your site and Dreamweaver will build it for you. The result is a very attractive website.
This is the only web design software an amateur will ever need, and provides a good groundwork for professional designers too.
