Helpful Web Design Sites and Tools

An excellent, free HTML editor is Arachnophilia. It's received many rave reviews.
Royalty-free clipart, fonts, photos, etc are available for purchase from iStockPhoto.
Get a logo, cheap, from GotLogos.com. If you require a custom or more complex logo, hire a freelancer instead.
If you just need a simple text "logo", check out CoolArchive. They offer a very simple logo generator (text only) where you can choose size of text, font, foreground and background colours, and texture.
Use NetMechanic to make your graphics smaller, check your HTML code, check for browser compatibility, monitor your site, and more.
Willmaster.com is a great place to look for useful scripts. Many of them are even free! Lots of great scripts to add interactivity to your website.
If you have no desire to do "technical" stuff, Site Build-It is an excellent option. Their website builder doesn't require any technical knowledge (although you can still upload your own web pages if you prefer). It's the overall package, however, that's the real advantage - it's an "all-in-one" package that leads you step-by-step through building and promoting your site. I highly recommend it - you can find out more here.
