Hey guys/gals:

I am wondering what apps people are using for basic website design. I m not very happy with iWeb results, and I am looking for something with more control. I do not know html code, nor do I want to learn it. I have a feeling I will inevitably learn it down the road, but right now I do not have the time, nor do I have the brain space. I am on a budget, and I am not sure I can afford to pay someone to do it. Does anyone know about how much something like that would cos? I have no friends that do website design.

Like I said it's pretty basic for a photography company. I just need a main page and a few sub-pages for a gallery, Contacts, Links, etc... Nothing too fancy.

Thanx for spending the time to read this.

Chris

If you want a WYSIWYG style application to create your website..check out:

The Escapers - Flux
Web Design Software for Mac - RapidWeaver - Overview

Learning the details of HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP are all good in the long term if you're going to be doing it often enough..but these 2 programs do take away those complexities..

i think the easiest way is using cms platform like Joomla or drupal. For blog the best way is to use wordpress. With these you don't have to write code at all, it's open source and you can find many free templates to use.
