Learning Dreamweaver can be intimidating if you're just getting started.
I created a video tutorial below that shows you how to setup a simple website using a Dreameaver CSS Template.
Before You Buy Dreamweaver

I highly recommend learning a bit about HTML and CSS before buying Dreamweaver. This doesn't mean you have to take a class or spend hours upon hours studying CSS. Just understanding the basics of HTML and CSS will help you greatly.

You can start by viewing my 4-part CSS Tutorial.

Obviously, this is not a necessity. The developers of Dreamweaver understand that not everyone knows much about HTML and CSS, but when you're familiar with it, you can do more and understand more of the software features.
Consider Getting a Book or Two

When I first bought Dreamweaver, I bought Dreamweaver MX for Dummies (I had the MX version at the time). It really helped me get started and I learned a lot about CSS.

I also own The CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks and Hacks. I love how this book is organized. The chapters are sectioned off into common questions that make finding answers a breeze. The book also gives you the code for various tricks and techniques while using non-techy speak.

This is probably not the best book for understanding the core philosophies of CSS, but it's a great "how to tutorial" if you just want to get it done and not be overwhelmed by technical gibble gabble. There are some really good navigation tutorials here, which is a common technique many people want to learn.

It took me a long time to get my hooks into CSS (Cascading Stylesheets). But once I discovered the benefits, I have not looked back and will never create a site without CSS again.

Stylesheets will save you loads of time by allowing you to update various parts of your site by updating one file. The video tutorials below will show you how to create a CSS website from scratch.
