content management system - How to use DreamWeaver with a dynamic site or CMS -


a client i'm working has large cms installed (kentico) use various sites. intranet want downsize simpler web system.

the site involves authentication (active directory), groups, , potentially server-side code.

the client's on-staff web designer, who's in charge, really wants able use dreamweaver manage/design intranet. almost non-negotiable, , considered requirement.

i'm not sure dreamweaver allows. being ignorant dreamweaver, saw web-designer platform static websites, or in use php.

how feasible use dreamweaver manage intranet site requires authentication, groups, etc., along server-side code? also, there cms's integrate dreamweaver? in .net?

dreamweaver mostly front-end tool made coding html, css, , javascript , being able preview design wrote code. adobe product, real emphasis there on design: it's made make visualizing front-end of website easy. it's starting point lot graphic designers step web development (it's started few years ago), you'll find veteran web designer still uses it. you'll not find .net devs using know better.

now, there's nothing wrong if that's person's favorite tool. however, dreamweaver not right tool working .net applications kentico. akin wanting build house using nothing bricks , mortar. sure, you'll able make outside nice, there's lot more house siding.

if client has heart set on kentico, should working visual studio. the community edition free use, commercial applications. believe difference between community , pro editions pro editions allow install plugins , extensions , integrate other tools whereas community edition vanilla ide.

dreamweaver can still used html, css , js editor. may have added support other languages, that's irrelevant when we're talking .net applications. visual studio microsoft's ide built working .net apps, , there's nothing better (especially if have pro license , install resharper jetbrains). many other devs agree me on point.

edit: forgot address other part of question dreamweaver , other cmss.

this series of video tutorials working dreamweaver , wordpress should give idea of dreamweaver capable of. notice when narrator using dreamweaver , he's using for.
