You can use Dreamweaver to set up a prototype and then use that as the foundation for a Joomla template, but you'd have to copy over the CSS and the basic HTML structure yourself. Dreamweaver still uses a page-based approach, where each page is like a word document. Joomla is a content management system. The template in a CMS contains no actual data, but all the data is stored in a database and the page is built in real time. Dreamweaver and Joomla have entirely different template mechanisms.
