As mentioned elsewhere in this site, PhotoImpact is not the "end all" to web design. If you plan on using PI for the bulk of your design projects, or to create an entire site, you'll need to acquire a few extra tools to help you along the way.

HTML Editors: allow you to open your PI web page so you can change or tweak the HTML code that PI created. PI is far from perfect, so grab one of these. It's also a great way to learn HTML.

FTP Programs: You will need a way to transfer your site files to your host and these programs will help. If your web host doesn't supply an FTP tool, get one of these.

Script Tools: After you get comfortable with web design, you'll probably want to spice up your pages with some nifty effects. Scripts do just that. These tools will help you create java scripts to use in your site.

Animation: One animation tool you already have is Gif Animator, which came with your copy of PhotoImpact. Here are some more which require little or no experience in scripts or HTML.

Web Services: These are online services that will check your HTML as well as provide mail lists and other fun things.
