Questions on recommended Website Design Software

[Bearmagic]

Being that I'm totally new to website design, what software could you guys recommend that I use. I desire for the software to practical, yet effective, cost efficient and one that will be around and used by many in the years to come. Worse case scenario I will be trained a quality website design software program and could be useful for future companies that need someone with a design experience [with a popular well used software].

Many thanks Everyone. Looking forward to being a avid poster for a very long time.

38 minutes to bump? (and on a night of the Summer Olympics) Have some respect for forum ettiquette...

OK, Off the soapbox now, Zend Studio is the way to go... It is feature rich, and is one of the best PHP IDEs... Of course, the problem is that you are an admitted total newbie, so the $249.00 price tag may be a deterrence... (but it is an exceptional price for what the product is and does.)

So, if that cost deters you, you can always seek a free IDE, which is a good learning tool. Dev-PHP is a good free IDE.
