strapping young lad:
microsoft word can create webpages but frontpage also publishes it onto certain websites which support it (both on microsoft office)

there are other applications out there both shareware and commercial but ive not bothered with them

Range Rover Blues:
Take a look at the SEOC website, that's done in Dreamweaver.  The old site was in publisher and anything you put up just kept moving around, columns wouldn't stack, it looked bad.
The lad who does the website isn't a pro but we all think he's done a great job with it.

Vam:
Microsoft used to do something called 'frontpage express'

Could try the microsoft update site?


Though as a complete HTML virgin my 'wonderful'  :wink:  husband with the help of a couple of HTML books put together my website in a morning,
though we still have to upload the photos and do a few more bits

hmmmmm

IMHO Word and the like tend to produce, at the very best, appalling HTML pages which are unlikely to render properly for half the people who visit your site.

Frontpage express was what I cut my teeth on, but doesn't have the WYSIWYG type of interfaces that some have.

Dreamweaver is pretty good for HTML, but isn't free, or that cheap.

To be honest, HTML isn't that tough to learn, and if you use an editor which isn't trying to be incredibly clever, you will find things a) More fulfilling, and b) Technically better

Just my 2p worth


p.s. (The mud club site is written and maintained using nothing more than a pretty basic text editor)
