The DWT file extension is used to support Dreamweaver web page templates that are created and used in Adobe Dreamweaver, an application for building websites. A DWT file is a template framework that can easily be saved and reused to create multiple HTML pages with consistent headers, footers, navigation bars, logos, content, and more. It allows webmasters to construct websites quickly by mechanically changing the content of one page to produce multiple pages without needing to replicate page elements.
Creation and Usage
The DWT files allow developers to create the framework with embedded HTML code and JavaScript for inclusion in the generated pages. This code is supplemented with variables which tell the Dreamweaver application how to fill out specifics on each page. Working together these components form the basic design of each page, while users are also able to add customizations at a later stage.
In addition, a single source DWT page can be used to create multiple related pages, helping users to avoid redundancy mistakes while generating pages from a template. With the right set up and planning DWT template outputs can be used to produce wider website layouts, as well as give developers more control over various aspects such as using looping or other procesing during generation.
Related Formats
The DWT template is not limited only to Dreamweaver; similar formats such as .ASPX, .HTML, .HTM, .JSF, and .MASTER may also support this feature in varying levels.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DWT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DWT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DWT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DWT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DWT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DWT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DWT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DWT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DWT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DWT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
