From the article: Dreamweaver vs. Drupal vs. WordPress
There are lots of tools out there for maintaining websites, Dreamweaver, Drupal, and WordPress represent three of the most common types: Web editor, CMS, and blog. Which type do you prefer? Or if you don't use any of these tools, what do you use? What's Your Favorite
Dreamweaver, drupal, joomla...etc..
- When I tried to search for which is the best for my online store, I can see that dreamweaver - in my conclusion - is the best. I can edit everything and it's my own website, on my own computer. I'm not ever trying drupal but joomla for some days and I uninstall it after that

Confused
- I'm a web designer (Dreamweaver), however I now have requests for CMS. My head is about to explode with all the choices. First - With Wordpress, do you edit locally on your machine and upload? Or do you work fully online somehow? Second - Can you set up your templates in Dreamweaver and work on the editable portions within WordPress?

Ultimate Web Builder
- Best is to use Ultimate Web Builder. It is very dynamic and flexible and very easy to use. You can create your own design with it. It has a built-in SEO tool to build traffic to your website and a lot more features, including a photos app for creating slideshows/photo galleries and e-commerce/shopping cart.

Both
- Dreamweaver has become sophisticated enough over the years to function as a mock CMS but it is not database driven and does require careful site mapping and understanding to use instead of a true CMS. I love DW and use it exclusively for HTML sites but for clients, I almost always go with WordPress now. I like creating websites that clients can learn to master on their own without too much trouble. This gives them the option of not being married to a designer or web company. I have a couple of Drupal sites of my own but I do not consider Drupal a good option for my clients who are mostly attorneys, nonprofits, and schools. I like to play hardcore myself, but try to keep it as simple as possible for my clients. So for clients, WordPress is my favorite choice.

define your requirements
- Drupal has nice themes. But very hard to get some thing to work. Dreamweaver gives full control, but hard to create a high volume dynamic website. Joomla stays in between. I would use Dreamweaver for static pages. and Drupal/Joomla for high volume websites.

This is a silly question
- Dreamweaver is totally different to wordpress etc. It's like asking if you prefer Picasso, Van-Gough or Photoshop. Dreamweaver is used to CREATE websites, wordpress etc are CMS systems. It's comparing chalk and cheese. you could use Dreamweaver to CREATE wordpress, and to create wordpress content...It's a ridiculous argument.

DW + Contribute
- I have used Dreamweaver since it was owned by Macromedia and it has improved an incredible amount over the years. It is meant to build and manage every aspect of a website's technical architecture and design, like constructing a building to the point of finished rooms. What you put into each room or web page is where other products like Contribute, Drupal or others come in, they are used to deliver and manage content within the construction.

Joomla
- I learned Joomla and work with it over 3 years. Its very simple and easy to work with. I also work with flash, dreamweaver and php but I can not compared them with joomla. If you want to design an complex and very busy website (with daily updated tec) go to joomla, if you want a static and simple website (just info and basic photos) go to flash or dreamweaver. I do not recommend drupal! I worked with it and I had a lost of problems with drupal. I still work with drupal (my clients have it) and every time I need to change something I lose years.

Best drupal web design
- I like Drupal more than wordpress and dreamwaver. Drupal is more useful than wprdpress

Wordpress for me
- I wrote my site using Dreamweaver, but wanted to expand it with more content, and keeping track of the extra content in Dreamweaver was getting difficult. I tried Drupal but found the number of addins confusing, and couldn't find an easy way to upload images. Then, I tried Joomla, which seemed easier, but not so good for SEO, because the URLs needed numbers as prefixes. Then the database got corrupted on my localhost trial site, so I gave up on Joomla. Then, I tried Wordpress and found it worked "straight of out the box". It looks more professional than my own site design, so I will leave it with the standard theme. SEO seems easy, as you can choose categories and there are addins for metatags and you can set your own page names. It's also less work adding pages than with Dreamweaver.

Drupal for back and Deamweaver for front
- Drupal is strong and flexible and free. Dreamweaver, on the other hand, by its state of the art technology makes front end development easier.
