Hello,
Software to edit web pages are different. In my case I use Notepad +, Dreamweaver and Webdev. But mostly I prefer joomla because it has its own editor and very easy to use. In fact you can install several editors and work with the best we like.

Depends on if I am working for a client or myself.
How I design for a client:
Open up notepad and type up as much content as possible from the client.
Move on to Adobe Photoshop for some design mock-ups to present to the client.
Export all images and open up Notepad++ or phpdesigner8 and get to coding.
Convert and upload theme to localhost Wordpress installation and start testing in Firefox, Chrome, and IE.
For me:
Photoshop then PhpDesigner8

I use htmlkit 292.
Even though it's not officially maintained anymore, there's a large community of users and plugin creators. It runs great on my XP machine at work and has a useful built-in preview feature which makes it easy to tab back and forth between the code and preview views.
When I work on a Mac, I like to use SEEdit Pro.
I never hear anything about this software but it works great, has a nice clean interface and is good at helping to keep site-wide files organized. I have a free version but am considering paying for the full version. The free version I have has full set of capabilities, though, so it's not like it's limited in any way.

I code and design all of my website layouts myself. My favorite program in website design is Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. I know it's an older program, but I was taught how to manage a website using this program in high school. I took an "Art Tech" class in which I honed my Graphic/Web Design skills. I've actually been doing Graphic/Web Design since I was 11 years old. Check my introduction in the thread : Meet and Greet for more information.
Alongside Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, I use Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady to design my layouts. I also like using a program called CuteNews for news posting. Disqus is nice for comments though I prefer CuteNews. CuteNews makes it easy for me to have multiple users post on a website.

I use to use CuteNews for all my anime sites I did back in the day, I really like using it for that type of website. It is very lightweight and easy to use.

If you are interested to help out, our owner Chris (DJB), would be very interested to see some of your art work. He is hoping to find someone who could do some original artwork for Gigalicous and has a particular style in mind. Maybe you could send him a portfolio of a few designs of yours, that is, if you're interested of course. Or just a URL of your blog and your designs in it.

I'm completely useless with coding, I couldn't code a website from scratch even if I tried, I use free templates and edit them in Notepad++ then view the html file in Firefox, to find problems I use Firebug, fixing them of course is another thing altogether.

I know, it sounds crazy doesn't it, someone able to create skins for vbulletin V3 & V4, PhpBB2 & 3, SMF 1 & 2, MyBB and Boonex Dolphin, able to edit existing web templates, and yet I couldn't code a website from scratch, seriously, I couldn't.
I have some brain damage from being hit by a car and then being in a coma as a kid, it has altered the way my memory works and my ability to concentrate properly, I either click with something right off the bat or I don't stand a chance. I have found that so long as I consider something fun and playful I can do it fairly well, but looking at a blank page in an editor I just draw a blank in my mind, it's quite frustrating to be frank.
