i am a beginner to making websites, i have been using just notepad on windows. to make advanced, nice websites to you have to use a software or can i just use notepad.
 
notepad is all you need. However most designers use a more advanced editor to speed up design. A lot of people use dreamweaver, but its expensive. I use and really like Aptana Studio, which is free.
 
You could certainly use notepad, just save your files .html, and you can preview them online. The only disadvantage is that you aren't really able to see when you make a semantic mistake, which becomes a pain when trying to fix problems - especially in HTML.

You may want to consider downloading or purchasing more advanced text-editing software. The more advanced ones will not only include syntax highlighting, but will also help you debug.

A good free program would be, for example, jEdit. If you're willing to spend money, many people use Adobe Dreamweaver, which is a great tool for new programmers. I'd also recommend you try using phpDesigner, which is a bit less expensive, and allows you to test more than just HTML - you can also test PHP and other languages if you decide to learn them.
