iWeb Template Question

I just got a domain and am looking for a nice user-friendly page building program. I've been playing around with iWeb and am a bit disappointed with it for two reasons:

1. It always makes me choose a template.

2. For some reason the top word on the page doesn't want to be deleted.

Otherwise I feel it's a good page builder. However, I don't want my website to look like all the other ones out there. I want some flexibility, mainly to get rid of that block of text at the top. Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something very obvious? (Control-clicking displays no active "delete" function on the menu that pops up).

If there is no way, what alternatives exist out there? Any good open source page builders, perhaps?

You might want to give rapidwaever a try

Like iWEB it is simple but you can create your own templates, and their tutorial on template building is also a great introduction to hand coding CSS layouts, so that you can get a grounding in web design and maybe move on to more powerful programs like Dreamwaever when you feel more confident

It looks pretty nice but I'm not sure I want to spend the money right now after buying the domain and web hosting service. Anything open source out there?
