Fluid Grid Layouts
This tool is great for responsive design for mobile and tablet devices. It allows you to create 3 sets of style rules for 3 various screen sizes and uses a grid system that handles the calculations for each. It is located under the File Menu or in the New Document Window.
Web Font Manager
This makes it easier to use web fonts, allows you to use the @font-face tag, and allows you to add your own fonts to the font-family list. Find it under Modify > Web Fonts.
CSS Styles Pane with Text Shadows,
Gradients, and Rounded Corners Creating these visual effects is quite easy with Dreamweaver now. They've technically been in Dreamweaver since CS5.5, but since they are very useful and easy to miss, they are worth mentioning. Find these under the CSS Styles Panel > CSS Properties Pane > Add Property. When your property is added you can click on the arrow that appears to open a dialog box that allows you to make very specific changes to your styles, such as corner radius.
CSS Transitions
Transitions show cool effects such as having images fade into other images. CS6 includes two new helpful features for transitions: The CSS Transitions Panel and the Transitions Category in the CSS Rules Definition box. Find the panel under Window > CSS Transitions.
PhoneGap
This feature allows you to easily make apps for smart phones. It was brought to Dreamweaver in CS5.5, but CS6 integrates the PhoneGap build service. This allows you to save your apps in the cloud and download them to put them on app stores.
