Site Download

Hi,

We may eventually look at bringing our website in-house, and therefore an issue we have is that our current website was created by an external agency, and we manage/update it via a Content Management System. My question revolves around whether, using Dreamweaver, I will be able to download this site/files etc. or whether the fact that we do use a CMS restricts the compatibility of our site with DW?

I ask this as if we plan to bring the website in-house I presume that I would lose the CMS functionality once I upload the site using DW? Also, if using DW to bring the site in-house is possible would I lose functionality that is not available via DW (such as the 'search site' function?).

Finally, I presume I would need some kind of access username/password in order to download/upload such a site - how would I obtain these?

Thanks for the help - please let me know if you require any further information before being able to give a satisfactory answer.

Thanks

Nick

RE: Site Download

David,

Thanks for the prompt response.

I do not think we own the CMS so I think we would lose this functionality. This would not be a problem so long as I could continue to edit the site via dreamweaver.

Just to be clear though, would we lose features such as the search tool mentioned above that are not compatible with DW?

Thanks

Nick
