I need to learn how to design a web-site. I am planning to start this as a hobby and if all goes well, maybe even start a side job as a web-designer. What type of program should I learn? Is Microsoft FrontPage still good to use or is it no longer up-to-speed with other leading web-designing programs.
What other types of programs are out there that will help me with website design. Do you think Macromedia is a good choice? I know it’s a bit steep in price but I figure if I am to invest the time to learn the ‘difficult’ program, time is money, why be shy on one and not the other.
What about Adobe? Do they have a web-designing software?
Please share your thoughts. I really need the help.

If you know completely nothing about web design or know only a little then Microsoft FrontPage is a fine start. However for more advanced options you’ll need Adobe Macromedia Dreamweaver and it better be combined with Adobe Macromedia Flash and Adobe Photoshop.
first let me inform you that macromedia has been merged with adobe,
for designing there are many software available like adobe photoshop, fireworks. but i would recommend macromedia fireworks, best tool for web designing.

Adobe (previously Macromedia) Flash, Dreamweaver if you don’t like writing html, and Photoshop
