Dreamweaver Tutorials – Understnding the Welcome Screen
Hey guys, welcome to this my Dreamweaver vlog. Today we are going to learn something about Dreamweaver’s welcome screen. Although many of us will just ignore the welcome, which actually not needed. Because in Dreamweaver this welcome screen has lot of functions using which you can perform various task.
That’s why; if you are new to Adobe Dreamweaver then you first must learn the welcome screen as it can guide you to many features of Dreamweaver. So take a look at following video and understand how this works.
When you first launch Dreamweaver, you are represented what’s called the welcome screen. And this is the convenient launch pad, from where you can go for existing documents or create new ones. Int he section on the left, you will notice the files that you will be working with. And you can simply click any of them, to go back into those files. When i say close this files, it takes me back, to the welcome screen, where there is noting open, the welcome screen can be seen by itself.
You can also create new documents, for example if i click on create HTML link, I am getting the black HTML document. When i am looking into the code, you will notice i have the skeleton of the HTML
Page. Again when i close this document, the welcome screen re-appears. I can also choose other from middle section to create a Dreamweaver site. So if i intend to create not just one page, but all the pages required for a particular site, i can go into this sit definition, and start working either basic or advanced mode, to define the attribution required by my site.
In the area in the right, i can create a document, based on the samples provided by the programs. For example if i click on started page of basic, i get in a series of presets, which is built into dreamweaver, and which will give me a page, consisted with pre-created elements. So for example if i clicked on survey multiple trace, instead of getting a completely blank page, you will notice i have a page, consists of some basic elements like title. I have a form, contain a series of radial buttons, and a text box with a submit form.
So i can go ahead and customize these to incorporate in the style that fits my particular website. In the bottom left here we have, pages which required useful for to get into Dreamweaver. So when you first start the program if you have the time, you can browse through these to get help and tips on how the program works.
And in the bottom right you have the dynamic section. Say if you have connected to the web and Adobe’s website actually will feed, information in to this area. i am sure you will find some notifications here, in this bottom right area, that is available and you may be able to download, a trial version, just what you think. As the site is giving an idea where to go for the upgrade.
So the welcome screen as you can see clearly useful. Its a nice quick launch pad to get in to different sort of work-flows. But is does’nt contain unique information. Most of the offline pages you can get from the file menu. So i can go to file menu recent, i can get to file new, and here you find new document window with the startup page. We are already have multiple pages. So, these are the features which are accessible, from the file menu.
Therefore you may decide you dont really want this to come up, as a tool.
