I'm looking to code a website, preferably using CSS, for my family's
domain.

I am not a master at html (and don't want to have to become one), and I
presently know little about CSS, other than familiarity with the speed,
elegance and flexibility of stylesheets. If it weren't for that loading
speed and ease of reconfiguration I'd just use Softpress's Freeway app.

I do not want to endure a long learning period for using an HTML app.
Price is not a big issue.

Is Dreamweaver easy to use/learn? I read that it generates CSS sites
with a fairly WYSIWYG user interface. Is that true?

I also read that GoLive is said to have less of a learning curve than
DreamWeaver, but it doesn't generate CSS.

Can anyone recommend or compare these apps, or recommend something else
that lets me create sites without getting into the bowels of coding
(e.g. BBedit)?


I like the bowels of coding. BBEdit is my friend. I use it to do a 12K
page site and lots of smaller ones. It really is simpler, at least for
me, than any of those bloody WYSIWIG things.

The learning curve of BBEdit and HTML/CSS is less together than that of
most of those so called easier WYSIWIGs.

BBEdit Lite is free, and I sure wouldn't go spending money just to make
yourself a simple personal home page.
