Remember, you need to be able to correctly see the whole page in Dreamweaver. If you can't or it's distorted in any way, it will be very difficult to edit. Also, respect the designer's wish regarding crediting their work. If you have the option, you may email them to request otherwise, but usually the deal is you can use it if you reference it!
