As mentioned above, don't waste your time learning any WYSIWYG tools.
Work directly with the code itself. That way you'll understand what's really going on.
Knowing how to code is a transferrable skill that can be applied to all different types of programming languages. If you learn a "tool" that writes the code for you you're pretty much pigeon-holed into that app. And trust me that app will not be around forever.
These days there are pretty much 2 sides to web development: front-end and back-end. As a designer I think you will gravitate more quickly and easily to the front-end stuff (at least that's what I did), but knowing how the back-end stuff works is what let's you create the amazing things of your dreams. I've been doing this for 10+ years and I'm still working on that part.
