When designing a professional website (graphics, well laid out/lots of stuff, etc..,) what tools have you found to be the most useful (i.e. IDEs and such)? So far I've been using Macromedia Dreamweaver and the pages created are a bit... well... blahh (in large part due to requirements). Is there a decent (preferably free) IDE for creating HTML out there? Also I've heard about flash but what exactly does flash accomplish for you? Is it expensive? Worth the price? I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give in regards to the above.

In general: A tool is not going to help you unless you have an artist eye and a sense of design.

Notepad and some basic css skills can make a page look good. I would say find some sites you like and look at their html and css. Tools like Firebug and Web developer Toolbar let you insect elements and see how it works and change it.
