Hi @Pam6C15.

Welcome to the Dreamweaver community.

Dreamweaver is a code editing and site management tool. It assumes you have basic web design & coding skills. Why else would you use it, right?

As with any tool, DW is only as good as the person using it. Or as I often say, tools don't build websites, people do.

See this related discussion from yesterday.

Hi Pam - You might find P7 extensions helpful, they do a range of extensions that will help you build layouts, menus and other other web features likem galleries .... I would advise start learning the basics of HTML and CSS too...

Paul:
Thank you so much, I am not savvy enough to figure out coding so I will be
canceling my subscription, I guess I need a software that already has
website templates. I heard of one called Webflow, are you familiar with it?
Is it free?
Thanks so much for input.

Dreamweaver has built-in Starter Template, too.

Go to File > New > Starter Templates... pick one and hit the Create button. See screenshot.

Replace text and images with your own. But without some code basics, this is about as good as it gets. Nothing fancy, just bare bones stuff.

"I heard of one called Webflow, are you familiar with it? Is it free?"

WebFlow is NOT free. It will also cost more to host because you're tied to their hosting plan for the life of your site or until they go out of business -- whichever comes first. Wix, Squarespace and other DIY online site builders use similar business models: convenience at a premium price.

WordPress is another popular option and it's open source.

Best of luck!
