I don't know if this is a common problem or not, and I don't know how to word the question in order to search for a previous thread solving the problem.

This is what my HTML site looks when you search it:

This is what my site looks like in Dreamweaver, and when I click the preview button in Dreamweaver:

Where are all of the nice fonts, colors, animations, etc.?
Is there a way to change this, in order to make it look like the actual site?

  I don't know what you mean by that.
  I'm not very experienced with Dreamweaver or Website Hosting. Sorry!

  in your local version of website, check from you HTML code that the URL to you stylesheet is correct, it looks like your local version doesn't use any CSS styles at all.
  
  for example in <head> section of your site you have:
  
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourstyle.css" />
  
  just make sure that your local site is finding those styles (they might be in sub folders, or sub/sub folders etc.), the path to the stylesheet might be correct on your live/online site, but not identical on your local version. It's very hard to say when not seeing myself the online/offline HTML code
  
  hope this will help.
  
  Thanks

You should check the filename and path (the flow of content) in the CSS.

Dreamweaver is hardly for the inexperienced.
You might want to try Kompozer, free and see if easier for you.
Good luck

DW sucks, it adds it's own code. I would use just notepad coding - or a clean template of some sort.

The only error i see on your screenshot is related to css..make sure all css external files path are properly coded either use a direct path instead of relative path.
