No. I think the views of a few people here are spot on...
Use something like DW to flesh out the bare bones of an idea.. It is a quick and easy way to position pictures, import text, spell check it etc. etc.
But do make sure you learn at least a little HTML and some style sheet stuff.. Hey and if you have time the rudiments of Perl, PHP and JavaScript.

That way you can spot problems / inefficiencies that DW puts into pages, and also make your pages interactive (Java), collect data from forms and process it (Perl PHP), and make your site look a little modern (Style sheets / css).

Once you have even the basics of those skills then you can start to complete web sites which are akin to what people expect.

Perl and PHP are really a doddle to pick up if you have any programming background at all, and if you know C or C++ it's easy.
