There's no such thing as "web designing software". There are applications that can help you build web sites fairly rapidly (Dreamweaver, frontpage, etc) but they do a terrible job. They created bloated code, pages with non-standard or poor designs that most professionals have to go back and clean up. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent fixing sites created with "web designing software."
Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Those are the basics for any page design. Learning Flash would be good if you want that kind of content.
Then learn server-side scripting for advanced programming and design. I recommend PHP.
Use a text editor. I'm forced to develop on a Windows box at work, so I use a free programming editor called Notepad++.
