>>By "custom cms" do you mean hand coded/programmed not using any software?

i mean a content management system that is not off the shelf. (like wordpress, drupal, joomla etc)

it would be 'hand' coded however the coder prefers, either using something complex like dreamweaver or any other editor down to the most basic.

however whatever the cms, generally speaking templates have to be built for the actual pages, and i don't see why one couldn't use dreamweaver to build templates for any cms, off the shelf or otherwise.
