Well, there is no "best program" to design websites.
Windoze' simple notepad is more than capable to design high quality websites, just ask Matt Keller of 108. However, you get no features.
Notepad 2 is another good program to use, it is the simplicity of Notepad and the features of Dreamweaver. The, I guess, industry standard, is Macromedia (Adobe)
Dreamweaver. It is above all, a very good program. It can easily code XHTML, PHP, CSS, JS, everything (not saying that Notepad(2) can't, just Dreamweaver has templates and extension auto-formating). The bad thing is that it costs money- more than pocket change. You can get a 30-day trial from the website, just make your website early. My team uses it because our school spends money without knowing what it is spending it on, so we have labs filled with Studio, Photoshop, et cetera (and yet no money for robotics...).
There is good news though. There is a program called
HTML Kit, and it's completely FREE. It is very similar to Dreamweaver and has some features that Dreamweaver doesn't.I think that it is very cool. It is also good for people new HTML and web design, so if you don't know the coding, it will assist you. I would give that a try before downloading the Dreamweaver trial from Adobe.
