| I agree with the opinion of many others in this thread that you'll be able to recycle a good amount of your skills, but you may want to get familiar with a couple additional tools; 1. Start by creating a GitHub [1] account if you can. 2. Get started with a simple GitHub page. This will get you familiar with the GitHub interface, some basic Git concepts and will refresh your HTML skills. 3. Hack around the CSS and templates. Have some fun an break things. From there you can start exploring more things; - Start looking into SASS [2], which is natively supported by Jekyll [3]. - Set up Jekyll on your local machine [4] (beware, I've always found Ruby to be a mess to deal with). - Add jQuery [5] and start adding some simple effects (scroll to the top, maybe look into adding simple toggle effects for menu on mobile). Now, you could go and try to learn more advanced stuff (React, AngularJS and all that jazz), but with a GitHub account and some knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JS/jQuery you'll be able to do a fair amount of damage already. Worry about the fancy stuff later on once you're comfortable again with building sites. PS: don't use tables for your layouts, and don't use Dreamweaver ;). Atom [6] is a good free alternative editor from GitHub. You can figure out later on what works better for you (Sublime? Eclipse?) but it will get you started. Also, Codecademy [7] is your friend.
