A Good Web Design Graphics Program
I run and maintain a small website, and have been looking for a good web design and graphics program. I especially interested in one that will allow me to make backgrounds on images transparent. Would appreciate any suggestions.

depends on your budget.

Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe photoshop would be the first tools of choice, however they arent exactly budget.

Paint shop pro and front page (ekk) should handle a basic site adequately.

Serif Web Plus is meant to be half decent (for the money) if you can't afford to drop £300+ on dreamweaver

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. You're right Zardon, Adobe and Dreamweaver are out of my price range. I will look into the Serif WebPlus, niceguyrichie. By the way, Zardon, nice avatar.

Sometimes you can roll your own solution for free. This assumes you're writing the website yourself and not using a WYSIWYG.

As far as graphics programs go, you could get away with Paint.NET or the GIMP.

For your web page editing you could get any of a million free text editors that do syntax highlighting for your web language of choice (one free one is TextPad).

For uploading you can grab an ftp solution that has a non-commercial free use license like SmartFTP.

Somehow im guessing if he is looking for webdesigning tools - that hand coding HTML isnt on his list......
