I used to be a web producer and have a lot of experience with web sites. The options you list are not the best. I suggest going with an open source content management system. The best one I know of is Wordpress. Check out my site. It is done with Wordpress. An amateur can install it but for a small fee you can get a pro to do it.<div>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:16pt"><span></span>I am wondering how you manage your
website.<span> </span>Did you get a consultant
to develop the format, or did you design it yourself. My inclination is to do it
myself.<span> </span>However, I am finding the
HTML code is not intuitive at all.<span>
</span>I am working through the tutorial of a program called Coffee Cup (HTML
code editor).<span> </span>It certainly makes it
easier to enter the code and quickly view your results.<span> </span>However, it does not bypass the need to
learn the code.<span> </span>This program also
has a graphic editor which is more intuitive.<span> </span>However, it does not support HTML5,
which I have learned is the latest language being supported by the dominant
browsers.<span> </span>I like that concept of a
graphic editor, but if they are not supporting graphic editor with the new
HTML versions, it tells me they have trouble with that approach and are fading
it out.<span> </span>The easiest method I have
identified yet is converting a MS Word document to an HTML.<span> </span>It is very intuitive.<span> </span><span> </span>I noticed that when I viewed the source
code, it was really long, thousands of lines.<span> </span>I am wondering if this will slow down
the loading of the page.<span> </span>Another
program described in my book “Web Design in Easy Steps”, they describe another
program call Dreamweaver by Adobe.<span>
</span>The book claims this is a robust program that includes graphic layout
features.<span> </span><span> I would expect a significant learning
curve. They do not offer trial period installation or return policy.
The cost of program with training is around $200. No problem if it meets
my need. However, I would like to hear from some who may be using this
program. </span></span></p>

those that do not know, you can see the code used on a loaded webpage by right
clicking on the page and left clicking the view source. What comes up makes no
sense to the untrained eye.<span> </span>It is
the coded instructions to the browser how to display the information on
page.<span> </span>This is an example of taking
a thousand words to describe one picture.<span>
