I would get Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I have been using Dreamweaver since it came out ( 97? ) and think most clients ( don't have a lot of money right now ) are probably going to ask you to clean up crappy sites. Rather than start from scratch, you will want to have a tool that lets you design on the fly and skim through color coded source. It has ftp built in, and it's pretty easy to use. I have been designing websites ( and CD-Roms before the web was fast ) since the early 90's. CMS's are great but you will do really well if you are fast and flexible. Lots of negative people out there, good luck!
