If you are relatively new to web design, this section will point you to sections of the Dreamweaver documentation that are most appropriate for your background.
For web-design novices:
Begin by reading the tutorials for creating a static site in Getting Started Help.
That's all you really need to begin producing high-quality websites, but when you're ready to learn how to use more advanced tools, you can proceed through the rest of the static-page chapters in Using Dreamweaver Help. You might want to wait to read the dynamic-page chapters until you're more familiar with creating web pages.
