Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Standard / Premium
Verdict
A period of transition as Adobe gets to grips with its Macromedia inheritance and the changing nature of the web.

Overall Rating
Alternative products
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
A shift of focus to advanced CSS and JavaScript handling, but Dreamweaver is beginning to look old-fashioned.
Microsoft Expression Web 2
The adoption of web standards is welcome, but Web 2's AJAX support is, disappointingly, still rooted in Microsoft's own technologies.
