If you use Dreamweaver and WordPress you may only be getting half the picture! ThemeDreamer unlocks Dreamweaver's potential and turns Adobe's Dreamweaver into a faster design environment for WordPress themes and applications.
ThemeDreamer enables instantaneous WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) feedback for common CSS and WordPress Template Tags in Dreamweaver's Design View.
Automatically combines theme file dependencies, eliminating the need to combine and splice header.php, index.php, footer.php, search.php, sidebar.php, etc. Provides WordPress Template Tags, Include Tags, and Conditional Tag Code Hints in Dreamweaver's Code View.
Additional features link code view to WordPress's online documentation and references. ThemeDreamer also lets you work offline while providing instant feedback.
ThemeDreamer started as an in-house tool for website design at Virtuosoft, owner of ThemeDreamer.com. As a Dreamweaver extension, it proved to be very useful in building WordPress themes for various clients. Virtuosoft decided to unleash this functionality to the greater WordPress community as a commercial product to better assist developers and designers globally. Also, because we love WordPress and Dreamweaver!
ThemeDreamer was developed to bridge the gap between WordPress and Dreamweaver because:
· Dreamweaver's Live Data / Live View (including the new CS4) doesn't support the intricate structure of WordPress's successful CMS to load or view theme files in Dreamweaver with WYSIWYG.
· It is very tedious to routinely edit, split, combine, save, upload files, and refresh browsers, then repeat, (trial and error approach) just to view a simple CSS change.
· Customizing existing theme files is faster then developing from scratch.
· Setting up a local server for WordPress can be complex and bulky.
· Offline development is ideal for fast, portable, simple, and quick edits.
NOTE: To be able to download ThemeDreamer you will have to register for an account on the developer's website.
