Actually, you can get into the DW code itself to either alter/modify a template or create a whole additional page template. You can even modify what appears in the drop down menus for sites.

I did that in DW2 with instructions from the DW2 Bible (got a used copy from Amazon) and then did it when I updated to DW4. I changed the default template that comes with the program, and created an additional one as well.

For the CSS, have you looked at the CSS using the Web Developer Toolbar in Firefox?
