IMHO, Sigil is also suitable for users without HTML/CSS skills, if the source .html files are already mostly XHTML compliant.

Basically all you'd have to do in Sigil is:
  • add all .html files in the correct order
  • add the cover image, right-click it and and select Add Semantics > Cover
  • generate the .ncx TOC, if Sigil hasn't already created one.
    (If no TOC entries are shown in the Generate TOC dialog box, you'll need to select each chapter heading and click on one of the h buttons (h1, h2, ...)
  • generate an HTML TOC from the .ncx TOC and move it before the first chapter or at the end of the book
  • select the .html file with the first chapter in it, right-click it, and select Add Semantics > Text
  • add metadata (author, title etc.)
  • click the green check-mark button to check for errors and fix them
  • save the .epub file and open it with KindlePreviewer to generate the .mobi file
If this sounds too complicated for you, you'll have to stick with your current work-flow.
