Dreamweaver 3 Fireworks 3 Studio Today's Web Sites Paul Jones
The days of one-person Web teams are nearing extinction. Web sites today are vastly more complex than just a year or two ago and are produced by larger development teams--teams that use a large variety of software. In order to boost productivity, Web building teams need tools that will integrate with a company's entire set of Web development resources.
Both Dreamweaver and Fireworks work well for large development teams, easily integrating files originating in Microsoft Word, Excel and Access, Adobe Photoshop, digital cameras and scanners. Due to their extensible nature, Dreamweaver and Fireworks can both be customized to create custom work environments using JavaScript, HTML and XML. Cross-application scripts automate Web graphics tasks from within Dreamweaver. One example is the photo album script that ships with Dreamweaver 3. It takes images placed in Dreamweaver, resizes them automatically in Fireworks, and then returns to Dreamweaver and creates a full photo album Web site.
