Device Central enables Dreamweaver web designers and developers to preview how Dreamweaver files will look on a wide variety of mobile devices. Device Central uses Opera’s Small‑Screen Rendering™ to give designers and developers an impression of how their web page looks on a small screen. It also enables designers and developers to test if their CSS behaves correctly.

For example, a web developer may have a customer who wants to make a website available on mobile phones. The web developer can use Dreamweaver to create preliminary pages and use Device Central to test how those pages look on different devices.
