Is it necessary to learn HTML or can I just learn programs like Dreamweaver? 
Are programs like Dreamweaver basically translators to work in HTML so instead of coding the website in HTML, you just design the website in Dreamweaver visually and all the small html coding is done by the program itself. I took one year of web design in high school and have a pretty good idea of what HTML and used Dreamweaver a bit at the end. So is it possible to learn all of HTML and just skip to learning Dreamweaver.
Woops I meant to say is it necessary to learn HTML or can I just skip and learn programs like Dreamweaver to make websites.Tags: html coding, woops, web design

Your questions is a good one -- so don't take this wrong. It's like asking, should I learn English, or how to use Microsoft Word? You need to know English - at least at a basic level, or you will simply be typing random meaningless characters. (Naturally, substitute any language for English.)
What you may want to consider is that a program with Dream Weaver comes with a hefty price tag. Now, it is worth every penny to a web programmer. But if you are simply making a website for your carpet cleaning company, and that's the only site you plan on doing, then I would go for less pain and simply select a web host like YBOTI that will give you do-it-yourself tools that will function similarly, but your only expense is the cost to host your site.

If you want to make a profession of designing websites, you'll need to know a minimum of html, css, and javascript. Dreamweaver is a great tool, but you can't create page templates in it that will work across multiple browsers and operating systems without knowing how to code.
Dreamweaver makes it easier to add text, pictures, and links and to upload the site to the web server. It also gives you several ways to test and validate your code.Answered by Anami Designs | Web Design and Development 2931 Polk St NE, MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 55418, 612-789-1888 (Novice with 21 pts.)

If you have a basic understanding of HTML, you should be able to go ahead start using Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) program, but you can also switch to an HTML view where you will be able to see the HTML coding.
I have built a couple of websites in Dreamweaver with a basic understanding of how HTML works. You should also check out Youtube to find Dreamweaver tutorials. There are a lot of helpful videos, from simple website building to more advanced.
