Is professional web design software essential to achieve professional results?

Interesting question: if a business' web site acts as a business card, should small to mid-sized companies with limited sources, including IT staff, be considered "bad" business? Or unprofessional?

The topic for my individual assignment is based on a home-based business. Between writing the paper, and talking with my client, I have developed more of an intereste in small business sites. (a change from my academic interests)  I know what to expect with large, well-known corporations, but have developed an interest in business appearing on the 9th, 20th, and higher results pages. That is where you find those small unknowns.

The range of web quality is, no surprise, huge. I have found it to be, in just a week, not only entertaining, but the quickest hands-on learning experience for web design so far. What surprises me the most about what I have learned is that autoprogramming packages don't garuntee professional looking results. Nor does the lack of them mean losing a professional sheen of a web site. I have found sites that are look quite professional on simple platforms, and other that have more advanced web platforms that look ameutuer because of the content. The deciding factor, I think, is knowing how to make the best use of the resources you do use.
