Are these the best ones out there? I have FrontPage as it comes with Microsoft Office, but I really don't care that much for it. Anything else you'd recommend that is not too expensive?

Dreamweaver and Homesite are the best and they can work together. Dreamweaver is also great because you can work in a layout view which visually allows you to create your content, tables and layres and such but it also has a code view which will let you hand code and it gives you drop down hints and color codes. If you grow up to be a great coder and you move beyond your simple HTML you'll be able to use Dreamweaver for all the major sever side programing languages such as Coldfusion, PHp, Asp, Asp.net( vbscript c++). you also be able to connect to and edit databases do queries and tons more. For the most part Dreamweaver can be as simple or robust as u need it to b.
Also if you r really into the wysiwyg drag and drop kind of coding then Net Objects Fusion is a good pick.
One last thing If you are any good with Photoshop you can layout your design there then use the slice too to cut up your design and do a few mods to the slices it creates and save for web or transport it to image ready and add animation and roll overs then save for web saving the images and html to a specifide folder. This usually create pretty simpl code not always the best formatting but it is certainly a good start. And at the least all my images rollovers and animations are done. I usually find myself doing the tweaking and dynamic code in dreamweaver. U can also do this in Fireworks. Fireworks works well with dreamweaver as a design and basic layout tool.

Dreamweaver is nice. I think FrontPage is good for beginners. I use Visual Studio 2005 now, though. If you're a student, you can get Visual Studio really cheap. If you've already graduated, sign up for a college course today so you can get a student ID as proof of enrollment. Or you could try Visual Web Developer Express Edition--it's free.

I have used them all. Dreamweaver is the best in my opinion. The other big one is GoLive. Don't even bother with Frontpage. Your best bet is to learn HTML and use a text editor of some sort. Note pad. There are some nice ones that will color code HTML. Look at http://www.textpad.com/ if that is the root you want to go.

i use frontpage simply because the sites i manage don't need much. Frontpage is very easy to use it just doesn't have very many indepth options. dreamweaver is much better from what i have seen, it is a little harder to use than frontpage though.

IMHO, even Notepad is good enough to write HTML/script text :-)

on linux use NVU, or any text editor, I prefer working with text editors most of the time.

I just use a text editor - my choice is jEdit - you may prefer vi, emacs, TextPad, UltraEdit, etc. etc.
