If you're going to build it by hand in straight HTML, get a decent text editor at least. Something like Notepad++

To the OP - assuming they just want a simple website, maybe a couple pages with some contact info on it, install Wordpress and go buy a premium theme for it. You'll find this is the most adaptable solution out there for a small site. I highly recommend Dreamhost for this type of setup - hosting is a breeze, support is awesome and it's cheap as heck.

If the company is larger then 2-3 people and you want to use your website as an actual marketing tool, go hire a professional to build it for you. An amateur website is a marketing liability. Just be sure to do your due diligence when picking a web developer/designer/company.

Edit: and for the love of all that is holy and right in the world, do not use Dreamweaver/Frontpage or any other desktop WYSIWYG software to build your HTML.
