Dreamweaver is a tool that may speed up your production of webpages - but if
you are going to produce something of reasonable quality, it is essential
that you understand what it is trying to do.

Learn HTML. Learn CSS. Become proficient at producing webpages by hand, and
then see if you can produce good quality pages with the tool.

(On a cynical note, dabs.com sell Dreamweaver for about £350, so I'm sure
your dealer would /love/ you to buy a copy from him for your development.
Developing by hand calls for a text editor, and there are many very good
text editors available for free.)
