So i am making a site in dreamweaver but i am having a little trouble. My website looks different in dreamweaver, than it does outside of it.

Here's how i want it to look



But outside of dreamweaver it looks like this



Any ideas why it is doing this?

Oops! That's different. Alas we can't tell you anything from a picture. Can you post the URL to the page?

Something you probably already have realized though, preview in real world browsers while you build the page. No one surfs with DW.

I design in DW and pay no attention to the preview. When I make a change I Preview in Browser (Firefox) and that gives me an accurate depiction of what the site will look like once it's live. My pages look totally different in the DW design view than they do on the web. Also, when I preview in Safari or Opera it doesn't depict it correctly either, but when surfing the site when it's live with those browsers, it turns out fine. Definitely post the HTML and (if applicable) the CSS so the geniuses here can help you
