Can someone recommend me a good webdesign software? I used dreamweaver, but I have seen many options out there, such as netobjects, coffecup, web studio, many of them are offering image editing feature included, claiming that it'd make photoshop not necessary. Any suggestions?

I use photoshop for images and handcode in HTML-kit.

Dreamweaver is definitely the best of the WYSIWYG editors but I don’t think any are suitable for designing CSS based sites. The trend these days is for keeping content 100% separate from design so I would first decide how you want to control your content.
1. Online databases like Joomla etc.
2 Blogging
3. Client side CMS (my favorite)
You then just need to get hold of one of their templates and edit the CSS with a text editor like textpad.
I also like to check my code with htmlvalidator.com and the regulation two computers (IE6 and 7) and other browsers.
