With DW the user must create the code using either a directly entry of code or using tools/extensions/snippets etc to create the html code. With Fusion the GUI layout becomes the web page. The Fusion product then generates all of the necessary code to display your layout as an actual web page. In Fusion you work on what appears to be the finished web page using the GUI to lay everything out as you wish it to appear. Neither product has any show stopping limitations as long as you understand the basic design concept of the software. Any code that needs to be included on the finished page has to be inserted at the location necessary using the insertion points provided. You have to use a "finished page" mind set. you can write raw code in it or use the tools to write snippets of code for you).įusion is a code generator. You just need to use a different mindset when working with both programs.ĭW is an enhanced editor (i.e. I still use DW and have had it installed on every computer I have used. I even used to write tutorials for dreamweaver back in the DW 4 days and was a regular participant on the MM newsgroups. I started using DW and Fusion about the same week. Especially when working on large websites.Better is a subjective term. But you're limited on what you can do with the html part. NOF is an easier program it's a drag n drop and as two already mentioned, html generator.

is better because you have full control of your coding. That way you can "tweak" your own coding yourself rather than having to go back and contract with another programmer that "understands" the dynamic language that was used. If your web host offers coldfusion I would point you in that direction as CF is a tag based dynamic language just like html and is very simple to use and understand as it uses plain english tags such as cfquery, cfoutput, cform, and cfmail (and many more simple to understand tags). Then you can find someone who will develop coding in what you can use. I believe in a no compromises approach.Īsk your web host what they offer with the package you are currently hosted on. This is one of the reasons I support all dynamic languages and databases. No point getting a site developed in something that your web host does not support. Again, any advice is greatly appreciated.įDA lot is going to depend on who your web host is and what dynamic languages and databases they offer. If you know of someone willing to head up the transition and let me 'look over their shoulder' I think I can take on the learning curve of NOF to maintain/add to the site but not sure I could handle too many frustrated nights on a redesign of my site. That being said, my time is spread thin running a land brokerage & maintaining the site. I've left the site design world and broker land, farms, ranches. Once upon a time I created/designed in HotDog. If you want to post a URL so everyone can take a look at what you now have you will get more input. The GUI is so intuitive and easy to use that it should not be too much hassle to move over from the dark side You have to manually build the site database by using the GUI. You can create a blank site structure and copy/paste content from a live web site into the Fusion pages, insert any PHP coding you now have, and end up with exactly what you had in DW but you can't take raw code and shove it into Fusion. What you are proposing to do is to take a P&L and transaction report and recreated the detail transactions. The package will generate a P&L and other reports from the transaction data that is manually entered. If you think of Fusion like an accounting package. It is simple to insert PHP code into Fusion but there is no simple way to take something that exists and "stuff" it into Fusion. It is a database program that generates HTML documents.

My question, can you download a website template w/ php pages created in Dreamweaver to NOF 12 w/out too much hassel? (sure that's a loaded question o) ) I've used Contribute CS3 for the past 2.5 yrs to add/manage the site but as of late have run into multiple errors adobe is at a loss to fix in contribute. I am looking at purchasing NOF 12 to maintain an existing site created as a template in Dreamweaver with php pages.
