    This depends entirely up to yourself keeping in mind that Dreamweaver is not in the same category as Joomla or WordPress. Where the other two are frameworks, Dreamweaver is a standalone glorified text processor. If you want to develop a CMS, you can use one of the frameworks or you can build your own using Dreamweaver.

    For a short answer: Yes you can use Dreamweaver to create a responsive design.

    As Nancy has shown, a front-end framework called Bootstrap has been included with Dreamweaver CC. If you Google 'CSS Libraries' you will come across a quadrillion of other different libraries, but not to confuse the issue, stay with Bootstrap.

    Before any code is created, (and Dw vs a cms is irelevant) you first have to decide how your page will look on smaller devices.

    The image you have shown is i am assuming for desktop, but what size?

    Desktop monitors can be anywhere between 20-35 inch, and even hd - uhd these days, so should it flow to match the users browser viewport, and how should it flow as the viewport gets smaller.

    A one size fits all, no longer works, you even have to decide just what content you wish the user to have access too on smaller devices, and then ask yourself how to provide access to what is not shown by default. Building for mobile brings its own problems, as there is no hover, even the map you show requires access to the users location in order to work correctly, if you plan on allowing them to get directions from their current location.

    I have touched on less than 5% of questions that must first be answered, in order for someone to develop correctly to the modern web user requirements,  and no cms or code editor will automatically  create or even has included the complete code for you to create what is required.

    Knowledge of rwd, html, css, javascript are the basic requirements, and only the beginning. Asking CMS or Dw says that you do not fully understand the requirements of rwd yet.

    You'll find responsive starter templates in DW.  But it's up to you to customize them.

    First define your local site folder.  Go to Sites > New Site.  See screenshot.  In this demo, my site folder is on my C drive and it's called MyTestSite.

    Then go to File > New > Starter Templates.

    After you save your document, DW will create some assets in your local site folder.

    Edit page to suit your needs.

    Happy coding!
