Apple iWeb vs Adobe Dreamweaver, depends on your skill level

Posted 30th May 2009 | 2,332 Comments

Apple iWeb is a great software solution for the beginner or amateur web site developer who wants to put  up a web site quickly.  Unfortunately it has some limitations on customization, and cross browser presentation.  On the other hand, Adobe Dreamweaver provides all the advanced features and flexibility to develop any type of web site possible, but it comes with a steep learning curve for the average user.  Both software solutions are suitable for web developers depending on the type of content and purpose of the web site being developed.

Apple's iWeb is excellent for quick digital photo sites, blogs, informational sharing, or personal pages.  It allows you to get your web site up and running quickly with full preview support in your default browser, and options to allow you to publish directly to your server of choice.  There is a plethora of options available that allow you to customize the look and feel of your site.  This includes fonts, colors, opacity and object variations that enables a "design by look" approach rather than the typical "code and preview" approach other software solutions provide.

After your site is designed in iWeb, you start to see the limitations.  It is very unintuitive to include customized features such as Javascript, AJAX code, mySQL directives, or any type of dynamic HTML.  Also, you will need to check your web site with several different browsers and versions.  Firefox and Safari are the best for viewing iWeb pages, internet explorer does not always render pages correctly, especially if you use opacity options on your background colors.  Due to these low lights, iWeb is not an ideal solution for the advanced user, or for someone who requires a site with both a sleek look and feel, as well as providing instant user feedback through dynamic controls.  This is where a software package such as Adobe Dreamweaver comes in.

Adobe's Dreamweaver software is by far the most advanced solutions for designing web sites that can handle content ranging from personal web sites and blogs to the development of Fortune 500 companies web site portals.  This makes Dreamweaver a clear choice for the above average or power user.  Live preview features work for javascript, AJAX, PHP, and even database functions.  There are many options and features available to help design a web site, but it does require basic knowledge of HTML, and and understanding of web concepts such as headers, tags, etc.  This makes the learning curve for entry level web programmers very steep and intimidating.  Once past the learning curve, the amount of features and flexibility will win you over.

In the end, both solutions are suitable for web site design.  The choice will depend on your skill level and targeted web site audience.  If you are looking for a large amount of flexibility and support for the latest dynamic HTML and AJAX content, then Dreamweaver is the clear choice.  If your desire is to quickly design and launch a basic website, iWeb clearly wins in this category.
