    Using Dreamweaver is beside the point. These Adobe products are just editing tools. You can use DW and Flash to create and edit Wordpress content.

    Do you understand the difference between a static site and a database-driven one? Normally to build an e-commerce type site, you'd want to use a database to store details such as product info and so on. So you'd setup a database on your server and then create some PHP (or Ruby, or Python) based pages that both output your HTML and also query the database to dynamically display that data within it. Wordpress and other CMSes simplify that process for you so that you don't have to worry about the database querying part, and can just enter your dynamic content in an admin UI.
