Working with the Design view

Dreamweaver's Design view displays a visual representation of your document, rather than the underlying code. When you work in the Design view, there are two views in which you can design—Layout view and Standard view. You select these views in the Objects panel under View.

In Layout view you can design a page layout and insert graphics, text, and other media. For more information, see Layout overview.

Work in Standard view to insert layers, create frame documents, create tables, or to use other features that aren't available in Layout view. To work in Standard view, click the Standard View icon in the Objects panel.
