I am currently creating a website using dreamweaver and photoshop however i am having trouble with putting it together as i encountered some problems and i was hoping someone could help me.
1. I made my whole pages, i.e main page with separate footer, header and main text area (currently blank) with also the rollover effect duplicate of the page however because i want my website to have text on it and to be able to update it, do i need to add the text in dreamweaver rather than photoshop?
2. I made my pages in photoshop with the dimensions 1024x768 of which is what i thought would be a good webpage size however i want my page to be scrollable but when i put it in dreamweaver and preview in browser it just about fills the screen, looking more like an interactive image. how can i get this to scroll or do i need to change my dimensions?
these are really the two main problems i am facing so any help would be much appreciated.

Your text should almost always be added through code rather than images, for: accessibility (things like screen readers), speed, and maintainability. It's terrible practice to have large areas of text on a site added as images. It sounds like you've made a site at a fixed dimension of 1024x768 -- another bad practice. Today sites are accessed on a multitude of devices, at various dimensions. It's better to create a fluid layout that readjusts depending on the viewer's viewport site, using things like media queries, percentages, and ems/rems. Also, DreamWeaver is terrible.

You really want to have everything you can in code, keep the images down to a minimum for speed as well as responsiveness and a range of other reasons.
