    To use Dreamweaver effectively, you really need to learn about code (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, etc...)  Dreamweaver is a tool. Your success is not measured by the tools you use as much as the skills, talent and experience you bring to the table.

    Your competition is using WordPress.  If that's what you want, use WordPress.

    You will find that the tools you use to build web sites, will depend very much on what type of web site you wish to build.

    If it is quick and cheap, (for you) then frameworks such as wordpress for those who want a simple CMS, or Bootstrap for static html are what you should be looking at to learn, after learning html, css and possibly javascript.

    For custom coded sites, then you must know html, css and javascript to a good level, then also learn a server-side language.

    Once you know what you want to do, then you should decide which program to use.

    That's a Wordpress site, so no you don't have to learn Dreamweaver, learn Wordpress.

    To be a good developer you need to learn to code then what bit of software you use is largely irrelevent.
