Adobe Dreamweaver is available for the macOS and Windows operating systems.

Recent versions have improved support for Web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, and various server-side scripting languages and frameworks, including ASP (ASP JavaScript, ASP VBScript, ASP.NET C#, ASP.NET VB), ColdFusion, Scriptlet, and PHP.
