So *move* you'll need to do the front-end coding of the form in HTML (you can use the DW wysiwyg stuff if you must).
Then the next step is finding a script that will process the information that the user has added to the form. Most of the simple scripts are wide open to spam attacks and so on. Here's one that works well once properly set-up, for novices: http://www.tectite.com/
Once you've got the front-end sending info to the back-end you can test the thing and make sure that your error pages and everything are working properly. None of this is *that* hard, but it is more complicated than you likely think; there's the form (front-end), the form-processor (back-end, php etc), error pages, success/thank-you page.
If you're serious about learning HTML there's no better way than to just get in there and do it, but if this is for client-work and you're not really that interested save yourself the aneurism and sub this out to someone with experience.
