I don't think anyone can answer the question as you've asked it.

Zencart is mainly a dynamic PHP program, which creates the HTML on the fly. There are few static pages.

Zencart is mostly templated by inserting images in the proper places and editing the stylesheet(s). You can't (so far as I know) just take a PSD image and slice it up.

You'll also find that Dreamweaver is useful for Zencart only in text mode (or whatever it's called - I don't use DW). You're better off with a good FTP client and text editor (you'll find Notepad++ to be more useful than Notepad, although I use both).

Best advice I can offer is to check the available free templates at http://(sorry, site offline) and the examples in the 'showcase' at the top of this page, and try your hand at customizing your own. When you have problems or specific questions, come on back with a link to your site, and we'll see what we can do.
