Many web designers are used to and like to use Macromedia Dreamweaver (DW) to work on their HTML and CSS. The latter in particular is very well supported in DW8 and it allows for very visual work on CSS files.

However, because of the way Joomla templates are structured it is often impossible, or at least unpractical, to work on a Joomla template from within DW in any satisfactory fashion.

I think I might have found a workable solution that with some adjustment allows a designer to customize a Joomla template in fine detail.
