New in the family are Dreamweaver MX 2004, featuring support for the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) standard, and Macromedia Studio MX 2004, which combines new MX tools with Freehand MX for an integrated development suite.
“We want to give people the tools they need to create beautiful Web sites,” said Macromedia’s Jeff Whatcott, senior director of product marketing.
Boeing is using Macromedia’s new tools to develop an e-learning site, said Christopher Rogers, lead programmer/analyst for training systems and support at Boeing.

Macromedia Studio MX 2004, priced at $899, sports an integrated workflow for developing Web sites and Internet applications.
Dreamweaver MX 2004’s support of the CSS standard allows Web sites to use less bandwidth and to be easier to maintain, Macromedia said. CSS separates presentation and style from content.
