OT: Web site creation

Some of you have some great websites. That is one thing I am lacking. Can any of you recommend a simplified Do It Yourself approach to creating a good one? My computer saavy is pretty extensive, but I have completly ignored any software or services regarding web site creation.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Riredale,

Glad to hear the code works well with the current PC & Mac browsers!
It really looks like a rockin' product, and the price is great.

Absolute pixel addressing means "put this text or graphic 436 pixels down and 342 pixels to the right", instead of say "put it at 20% of the current window width" etc.).

The concern has been with older browser versions, apparently some of them don't handle this well, probably not an issue today when most people have upgraded out of fear (of security problems). I don't see many older browsers in my web site logs anymore, which is nice.

I have also seen some recent web sites that are totally screwed up (unreadable) even in the latest browsers, due to poorly implemented absolute pixel addressing.
But this shouldn't happen with SiteSpinner at all from what I can find.

I need some of the advanced features in Dreamweaver MX 2004, but it's great to see that there is a tool for non-geeks to create very high quality web sites. Many of them farm out the design, and then they don't update the text every often because of the cost of having an outside techie do it.

Looks like a great recommendation!
