Course Description
The Template feature is helpful in Dreamweaver because it allows you to create a “shell” or layout that is consistent across all of your pages. You can then make editable areas on your pages so only those areas can be updated by the users. Templates allow easy changes to content globally. If you need to make changes to the “shell,” it will make updates to all the pages based on that Template.
