OK sorry to keep spewing clueless questions here, but how would I go about ripping a website?
Update: I've ended up using Wordpress with Artisteer and the results are pretty impressive 
Within about 30 minutes I was able to create a very professional looking site - despite the fact that I've never EVER made one before.
I'm still having some minor design issues (menus not showing up, random scrollbars next to bulleted lists...) - yet I'm guessing these are more down to my shortcomings than the software. As DebtFreeMe said - there isn't a lot that WordPress can't do.

Another nice option is http://www.weebly.com
You don't need any coding experience, the learning curve is almost immediate, and you can even incorporate WordPressinto it.

When I started out I used FrontPage in design mode. I then moved to designing the layout in FrontPage and then designing the rest of the site and a little bit of coding in Dreamweaver.
Three years on I now use Dreamweaver to code up HTML/CSS, and then NetBeans IDE for true development.
To answer your question, I find that Dremweaver is the best tool for website creation, as it gives you great design preview options, coupled with code-completion for HTML/CSS.
One thing to watch out for is cross-browser issues. As a beginner, I had no idea that a website could look different in different browsers.
This meant that a lot of my initial websites rendered fine when viewed in Firefox and Chrome, but very poorly when in IE.

For designing photoshop is best and for coding you can use Dreamweaver. And for heavy sites you can use wordpress.

If you are planning to create a blog site then I would strongly recommend you to create it on Wordpress.
It is the best for developing blog website; also you can find thousands of plug-in which will help you in improving your blog site and ranking on Google. And don't worry Wordpress has very user friendly CMS , don't think it will be problem for if you know html and CSS coding.
