Adobe Dreamweaver CS3

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is a web development program published by Adobe Systems, Inc. Macromedia originally created it until the company was acquired by Adobe. This is the first version to be published by Adobe Systems. It is included as a component of the Adobe CS3 Web Standard, CS3 Design Premium, and CS3 Web Premium packages. The program is used for developing and maintaining websites.
