Re: GoLive, DreamWeaver or something else for OSXing newbie?

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)?

'Hotdog Pro' is expensive & crap. Coffeecup is outstanding and cheaper. I
found the easier a prog is to use the better your page looks as you are less
inclined to add all the bells and whistles to a site that make it look cheap
and cluttered. Less is more.
