What we like best

The Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium packs quite a few upgrades but we’ll mention our favourites here.

To start off with, we’re getting quite into our apps here, with tablet technology sky rocketing we’re sure to be seeing more tablet based content being exchanged, Adobe offer the tools to form and design immersive digital media usable across the spectrum from desktops to mobile devices.

You can emulate HTML5 content and debug, and with the WebKit upgrades you’ll also be able to profile queries at your leisure.

You can view your site as it would appear on different sized screens, so that you can tailor for conversion to tablet or smart phone. The multiscreen preview panel will surely be invaluable for the late stages of web development.

What we like least

You’ll find this complaint across the board with Adobe CS5.5 products: the price is a bit high. Naturally, if you wish to acquire the best software so that you can perform all the necessary tasks with ease, then Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium is worth it. Those on the lookout for a bargain should probably look elsewhere.
