    DWT .. Dreamweaver Template

    HTML .. Hyper Text Markup Language

    Since you are new to this, I'll suggest that you make your first page and save it as DWT (template) .. use that template as the base for all of your other pages, which, after editing, you will save as index.htm, or products.htm and so on and so forth.

    Or .. you can just save your document as index.htm without designating a template in Dreamweaver at all.

    All of the pages you build to be uploaded to your hosting should be named with the .htm or .html extention.
    The DWT is only for Dreamweaver and is stored locally.

    I would save it as HTML, it will work great in DW.

    Screw Dreamweaver -- don't limit yourself to learning a program that makes Web pages for you. Learn how to code; saving your document as a .html file will get you started on the right path.

    As for .dwt files -- they're templates that get called by code within .html files that Dreamweaver inserts into the Web page, so you can't save it as a .dwt file and expect a browser to render it.
