Can You suggest a Good Application (Eg.Photoshop,Flash,3dsmax) for designing front end of a website..

If you want a very flashy site, Flash (ironically) is a decent application. Dreamweaver has a decent semi-WYSIWYG setting as well. Be aware that most applications that write all the code for you tend to do a very poor job at it. That's why its good to know what's going on behind the scenes so you can fix problems when they pop up.However, there's not much you can't do with plain HTML, CSS and SSI (server side includes), with some basic PHP added in for flavor. What kind of website are you developing?As for the other 2 you mentioned - Photoshop is an image editor and 3DS Max is a 3D modeling tool. They'll create items you can use on websites, but won't make entire sites for you.Regards,z.

First of all, to create an website you need to have some knowledges about HTML, PHP, FLASH, CSS and others... To create an website is not an easy thing. First if you decide to be HTML based, you need to know HTML and little knowledges at CSS. You can use some software like Notepad++ (code only), or there are many WYSIWYG editors. First you design it, and after that you code it. Or if you choose PHP, you can either make your own script or use some pre-made script. Good CMS (Content Management System) Scripts are:

Joomla

Drupal

Or others.

Good blogging script is Wordpress.

Good Forum Scripts are:

vBulletin Paid Script

IPB Paid Script

SMF

phpBB

...

With them, you can build very powerful sites.

I hope this helps.

I would suggest Dreamweaver. It is not free, but it is very powerful and you can do a lot on it! If you aren't good with coding I would suggest going with a Content Management System. I am using e107 now, but Joomla and Drupal are also CMS'. I wouldn't suggest going with flash, as Search Engines can't index flash sites very well.

The process that I go with to create a website is to start with a design in Adobe Photoshop (sliced PSD file). I then convert it into HTML markup and CSS using Adobe Dreamweaver. Finally, I use Flash wherever HTML prevents me from achieving the functionality that my design requires, such as the input file form element.
