Macromedia Dreamweaver 1.2
Article Abstract:
Macromedia's $299 Dreamweaver 1.2 Web authoring software comes with enhancements such as more JavaScript behaviors, link checking and a Convert to 3.0 Browser Compatibility command. The last feature makes the product especially attractive for designers because it makes it easier to use as a layout tool, even for pages that have to be compatible with version 3 browsers. Dreamweaver 1.2 also comes with enhanced integration with other tools. For example the Macintosh version comes with Barebone Software's BBEdit and the Windows version comes with Allaire's HomeSite. The user working with HTML can color-code the work, making it easier to differentiate among tag categories and their contents. The biggest weakness of Dreamweaver is the lack of site management.

Macromedia Fireworks 2
Article Abstract:
Macromedia's Fireworks 2.0 Web authoring software features a new interface that is more intuitive than previous iterations and makes it easier to use animations. The application includes over 300 styles, which aid in providing a consistent look across the enter site. This version also offers tighter integration with Macromedia's popular Dreamweaver 2.0. Version 2.0 also includes expanded JavaScript functions and an improved slicing feature. Multiple effects can be applied to a single object and then applied to other objects. Fireworks is somewhat difficult to learn to use, especially for users who are more comfortable with the Photoshop interface. The list price is $199.
