Web Authoring SW suggestions?

Hey Web Guys..
I have the opportunity to get back into web design.
A customer at my print shop wants a web site and has mentioned
they will buy all the necessary software in exchange for doing the site..
And I was wondering what is the recommended software package
to go with. The last web work I did was in 1997, with early Hot Metal Pro.

The only criteria is I HATE MicroSoft "style" programs, i.e. Publisher,
Word, etc. I have the MS Publisher Service Bureau Edition for my print
shop and can't figure out how to do the simplest things LOLOL.
(of course I never cracked the damn manual, but nothing is intuitive)
And I don't remember any manual HTML coding to speak of...

I've been a PhotoShop, CorelDraw, PageMaker guy since 1993..

How about the Dreamweaver/Fireworks and maybe Flash package??
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Here's an old ass web page I did, that now has broken links (had to
spread it over
different accounts that are now gone) And yes it looks very dated
And I had to manually publish all the files (the software still had
problems
with the early versions)
