Just use Dreamweaver it's pretty straight forward.

It depends on the type of site you're looking to create. For basic, personal web pages, iWeb does a decent enough job and is very easy to use. If you need something more robust, I highly recommend RapidWeaver. Dreamweaver is great for professional and semi-professional use, but I'd say there's a pretty steep learning curve for a newbie to web design.

Great post. I would like to add thought that even though dreamweaver does have a steep learning curve, its integration with other adobe products gives a it a big plus. Granted I am someone who has been using dreamweaver since before i can remember, and i have not tried rapidweaver.

also if you want to do strictly css, cssedit is a great app.
