Not seeing any changes to the store design after editing a .dwt file in Dreamweaver is caused by one or both of the following situations:

1) You didn't upload the modified files to your website after editing the .dwt template file:

After editing a .dwt file (template) file in Dreamweaver, you must save the .dwt file and then upload all the files that were modified by the template "update" process to your webhosting account or testing server. Dreamweaver template files will automatically update all files in the site definition that are linked to that .dwt file. However, Dreamweaver will not automatically upload the modified (updated) files from your local system to your live or testing server.

2) You didn't set up a Dreamweaver "Site Definition" for your online store (website) before editing the .dwt template file:

You need to set up a Site Definition in Dreamweaver before editing .dwt (template) files or they will not work correcltly. For information on how to set up a Site Definition in Dreamweaver, please consult your Dreamweaver help files. The Dreamweaver Site Definition includes the location on your local system of your website files, your webhosting acccount FTP login information and other configuration settings.

The Site Definition creates a cache of all your online store (website) files that allows the .dwt files to update all files that relate to the specific template.

When the Site Definition has been setup correctly and you edit a template file and click ‘Save’, Dreamweaver will prompt you to “UPDATE” all files in the site that match that template and you will see the progress as it updates the files in your Dreamweaver site definition.

if Dreamweaver DOES NOT prompt you to update the files in the site after you edit a DWT file in the templates folder then you HAVE NOT set up a site definition in DREAMWEAVER for the website before editing the file (i.e. you just clicked on the file while browsing your computer and started to edit it).
