I'd like to do some SEO work on my sites such as changing/adding titles, headings, keywords, etc... I know that using "View" and "Source" on my browser I can pull up a page's code. Since I can do this on any site, I figure that's not how you actually go about editing the code though.

So do I need a product like Dreamweaver in order to edit my website headers, titles, etc...? Any advice on it is appreciated.

The answer to your question depends on what type of acess you have for the site itself. Is it a template site or a site you developed yourself? What's the url? Do you have ftp access?

My existing site is www.BellandPrimost.com. This site is more of a billboard than a lead generator. It was custom done (by a friend) so I should have complete access.

If you feel comfortable editing the source code, then go ahead. If not, you will need something visual like Dreamweaver.

...and even if you are real comfortable with HTML it is just flat out faster to do the really basic things with a WYSIWYG. If you know nothing about HTML, I would suggest picking up a basic HTML book and then just starting using something like Dreamweaver, you will catch on to some basics rather quickly, it's the real meat and potatoes that will be rough...

No, you don't need a program like Dreamweaver to edit your website. A program as simple as notepad will do. However, a program like dreamweaver will save you some time and frustration if you don't know much about HTML.

Edit: I checked out the source of your site, between the .aspx extension and the way some of the HTML looks it looks like some of the HTML might be created by some .NET code. Did your friend by chance make this in visual studio?

how can you find out if you have a template webhost site?

Do you have an administration control panel of some sort that you use to edit the content of your site? Chances are you have a template site...

Do you have to log in to a thirdparty site and use special software to edit your website? Chances are you havea template website...

Did you purchase a template from a designer or from a site like templatemonster.com to which you have added content? Technically speaking you've got a template website...

Another way to check is to look at the source of your page. Usually a template website will allow you to pick a "theme", which make up the colors and decorative images for your site. If you look at the SRC attribute for the images (this is the attribute that tells the browser where to find the image so that it can be displayed) template websites will often have a URL in the SRC attribute that points to a file on the template webhost's company server.

For example:
By viewing the source of your website (the one in your signature) I can see that it's a template site. See how the link to your stylesheet has all of the "template" stuff in it?

I can also see that the site was created in VisualStudio (probably, maybe web matrix) and runs on a Windows server.

P.S. Your Meta keywords tag is way too long
