1,247 PointsSoftware for making websites
Currently I have Brackets and InType for the code, and I also have a software called WampServer for playing around with Wordpress websites on my localhost.
Is there any other helpful resources you would suggest for novices to get to grips with web development?

Glad to see that you are well on your way to becoming a developer. Though other than a code editor and maybe a local server environment, I don't recommend you use helper software at this stage. Now you need to get a strong understanding of html, css and maybe javascript. All I am saying is that you shouldn't allow those distractions to take up much of your time. Code is the goal. Not the software.
That said, If you plan on getting deeper into development, I strongly suggest you learn how to use your computer's console and command line. Treehouse has a nice intro to console course. It's the only tool I wish I learned early on because it takes a lot of time to get comfortable with it.
Hope this helps.

- HTML validator
- CSS / JS linter
- devdocs.io for reference
