IDE that can work on an existing website?

Here is my problem: i am taking over development of a website that already exists and is published. I was hoping to use something simple like iWeb to work on the site, but iWeb seems to have no way to work on a project that wasn't started within iWeb. Is there some standard IDE/editor/dev package that is designed to handle this?

Dreamweaver is pretty good at looking at what is there already, and making it easy to make further changes. The design and code views should allow a non technical person to make non-radical changes for most sites.

Beyond that it will depend entirely on how the site is built, if it's a few static HTML pages dreamweaver or its ilk will do fine. If it's a heavy drupal or wordpress site with multiple plugins and customizations you're going to need to use the built in UI to make changes, or contact a developer familiar with the technology used.
