Please recommend me a good website designing software?

[Brit Tech Guy]

I am looking to create a professional looking website. I'd like to add Forum to my future website and upload loads of pictures into it. Now I have Adobe Dream-weaver on my mind. I don't want to spend a lot of time getting used to with software.

Could you please recommend me a good website designing software which is easy to use and most effective? And also any tips for beginners like me would be great.

thanks in advance
