I am building a website for my fire hall. I am wondering If any one knows a good program or some kind of template that would make a awesome website for a fire hall. I am willing to spend a little money on it. Post what you think, Thanks.

Dreamweaver is a good program, if you are looking for something like a CMS then joomla and e107 are good cms's.
 
if you do not have the content management system requirement then try web page maker, based on what you see what you get concept, it will help you going with your project with simple dragdrop and edit.

CMSes are only really effective if you webhost meets all the requirements they have. Out of all the CMS systems out there I highly recommend drupal over all others, and it is really for one reason. Drupal will check itself against versions and security protocols and will tell you when your site is no longer up to date or secure. Drupal also has 3 levels of development. Current stable version, future version in beta with known bugs, and more future version in Alpha being developed.

This kind of community gives you the best in standards, it is like the Ubuntu of CMSes out there in my opinion.

However, a CMS is all about the content and all about creating content from with in the site, so it may be not used to it's fullest by some people or developers.

some links for you to look at:

www.drupal.org

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html (gui tools help manage mysql databases so well, i hate php myadmin)

http://browsershots.org/

http://www.w3schools.com/

Firefox addons that are a MUST to have for web development:

Firebug
Measureit
Web Developer
Color grabbers (there are many of them)
 
Dreamweaver is good but i wouldnt reccomend it unless you intend to continue web development. Its too expensive just for one project.
