To get started developing websites there are a few basics you will need just to get going.
Pencil, Notebook, and Filing System.
This could be one of the most overlooked but important set of tools when developing for the web. Though it may sound irritating or unnecessary to those of you who want to dive in and create it can save you hours of misdirected work. The notebook and pencil work well for taking client notes and sketching your project. Filing may sound like common sense but don't ignore setting up a system. It can be irritating, to say the least at 11 pm when you want to work for a few hours, have the design you sketched out, but can't locate brochures you're using as reference.
Computer With a High Speed Connection
Hopefully, this is a no brainer. It would be prudent, however, to keep a few of the following things in mind. You will want a computer with enough power to run some significant programs. These programs including image editing and WYSIWYG development will need a bit of processing power. There are some good buys right now on basic desktops that will suit the purpose fine so unless you really love to put them together, buy a computer. Buying a computer usually has the added bonus of a support contract. Good PC support can be a lifesaver. A high speed cable or DSL connection should have a decent speed for downloading as well as uploading.
