Beware

Strengths: Ease of use, pretty good support, has been a stable program,

Weakness: After you spend the money be prepaired to spend more later Adobe will no longer activate my Ultra (green screen)program un less I spend $900.00 dollars more to upgrade my CS pro

I have found adobe CS pro to be a wonderful professional program I make my living using it but when I had to replace my harddrive and reinstalled my programs My ULTRA 2 wouldn't activate After 2 days of being passed around support techs and being told they would call me (they never did) I finally pestered them enough to get me a tech who would activate my Ultra 2 one last time as a "favor to me" when I bought this program I didn't see a time limit on my user agreement.So after spending thousands on adobe products, be prepared, you may be next to hear... they will activate your program one last time as a "favor to you"

Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Web Premium

Strengths: Extremely powerful software that will produce anything you are needing to accomplish graphically.

Weakness: Much to learn if you are new to the programs

In the past it had been difficult to find a truly professional package, however, with Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia and their subsequent release of CS3 that search is now over. Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium is not only a professional package, it provides a well-integrated set of tools that covers every aspect of the web development process

Creative Suite CS3 Web Premium

Strengths: Quick Single DVD Installation. Inexpensive Compared to Separate Purchases.

Weakness: Learning Curve.

Our upgrade to Vista required an upgrade of many programs including several of our Adobe titles. Installation was EASY and all software was completely contained on one DVD. Anyone who would spend the money on such a complete package understands how invaluable that software is and that Adobe's software is the best. What else can I say.

Best-of-Breed

Strengths: Low cost compared to individual purchases. Easy installation of entire suite.

Weakness: None, but a steep learning curve.

After years of purchasing separate Adobe software titles, we finally decided to purchase full software suites when OS upgrades to Windows Vista required the newest Vista-compatible programs. Adobe suites are a great deal compared to the cost of purchasing individual packages and allow for a very quick and painless installation from a single DVD. Great software from a great software company!

Can you post (or email me) what the sticker from the back of the DVD case reads? I mean the right bottom sticker, not the serial number. Thanks.

Great product steep learning curve

Strengths: full set of useful tools. can create many types of pages using these tools.

Weakness: takes a while to learn even for a seasoned web programmer.

i have never used any tools besides a text editor and browser to create websites. using cs3 web premium allows you to cut the time it takes as well as have control over your code. it takes awile to learn what each program does and what you can do with them but once you do they are indespensible. i would recommend a book to go along with this purchase to guide you.

Creative Suite CS3 Web Premium

Strengths: Everything you need in 1 package!

Weakness: Not for beginners

This is a great way to get everything you need to build a great and professional looking website. All the products are bundled together. If you were to buy them separately, you would pay a lot more money.

Creative Suite CS3 Web Premium (Full Product, PC)

Strengths: This product seems to have all the components...and then some...for website development and maintenance.

Weakness: For first time users unfamiliar w/website development software the learning curve could be steep.

This software was purchased to become more familiar w/the software nec. to build websites. For someone w/past CS experience I'm sure the new version/changes will be an easy adjustment. For newbies there may be easier software packages to start with. For myself the biggest issue has been understanding the function of each package and how it relates to building the final product. Some are more obvious than others. That also applies to the functionality within the packages. From my perspective this is a great all inclusive/capable Suite most beneficial to more intermediate and advanced website developers.
