    I've been trialling Dreamweaver CS3 for a couple of weeks now and love it, but am beginning to wonder where I can find the best online 'deal' for buying the final product.

    Any advice please anyone?

    Thanks

    Dreamweaver's gonna have so many features that the novice web-designer gets sucked into relying too heavily on them... without learning what the hell it's doing. DW is also notorious for creating a whole BUNCH of superfluous code.

    While I won't totally trash DW (I bought it myself when I was first learning...) I will say that the best thing to do is learn to code your site from scratch. You can find great tutorials at Tizag.com for CSS, php, and anything else you would want.

    It may take longer, but you'll be happy you did.

    EBay is probably the cheapest you can find it but you have to be careful and make sure you get a legit copy. Otherwise, just buy it off of Adobe. The tools are WAY worth it.
