    I downloaded template 20 (business) and I have no idea what to do next. This is my first time working with a template.

    I have Dreamweaver, do I need Photoshop?

    After I downloaded the template, the files I have are index, style, a Photshop image, and an image folder.

    I just have no idea where to start. Would someone please help me out?

    Thanks in advance.

    First, you should know that a website has 2 parts: the design and the code (html/PHP). The template that you downloaded is the design part of a site (on a simply code). Your work now is to code a website in HTML, PHP, ... or to modify the templates by editing the index.html file to made it fit to a CMS like (drupal).
    Whatever you want to do, you have to know html to use the templates.

    p-s: I'm not good english speaker. I hope that I have not made many mistakes:D

    Learn XHTML and CSS

    The first thing to do is to learn XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Langage) to develop your website.
    Second, you have to learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to adapt the templates to your site.

    If you open the index.html file with a web browser you will have a website. By opening the same file with an editor like notepad or gedit you will have the text of the site within some "<markup>Text of website</markup>" called markup. To understand their meaning you have to learn XHTML.
    http://www.siteduzero.com/tuto-3-6-0-apprenez-a-creer-votre-site-web.html give XHTML and CSS courses (in french).

    P-S: I am a freelance webdevelopper. If you want a professionnal website with a theme you choose here, I am willing to do it for you. At the end you will be able to change the content, and even the theme without knowing XHTML. Your site will have an administration zone. Take a look on http://www.lesauf-design.net. It is my website
