I'd say go for an advanced editor like Dreamweaver. But you still need to know how to edit those HTMLs when you need to.

As for website creation business, you don't earn much from creating simple static websites... but if you work on those web-based systems with backend coding... those can bring you quite some good amount of cash depending on the scale of the project.

can you give me an example of one of the websites that are earning good amount of cash that you mentioned please?

Urm. well, I was involved in one project for a hotel and created them a system for their loyalty program. One example is like this: http://www.princeplus.com.my/

You don't see much of a design for sites such as this but more on the system functionality.

And most of the time, such system are only meant for internal use, not public access.

But please do not get me wrong here.

I think I understand your initial question, and yes, you can get quite a nice sum creating nice websites for customers who want a site to let people know who they are and stuff. But where I'm coming from is don't just stop there. Look further and also get into learning to code either PHP, ASP.NET or even JSP to create dynamic and functional sites.

wow it doesnt sound easy at all... not at all ... haha.. im just trying to like create a webbie for filesharing and stuff and possibly earn at least some money for me to go through my daily life when im gonna study abroad in australia.. seems possible, no?

haha it's definately possible.

As for filesharring etc, what you can do is to use those open source php apps available and sell your services by installing, and customizing them for your customers. that works too.
