I designed and built a website for the Rolls-Royce Owners Club of Western Australia (rrocwa.com) a decade ago and it's on its third rebuild. I use an ancient edition of Dreamweaver (when it was still produced by Abobe) and kept everything as simple as possible; no fancy animation, no gimmicks. I think overdressing a site can be a bit of a tendency with pro web developers. KISS is the motto.
The beauty of a website designer like old Dreamweaver is that it is very little more complicated than Word. It's a wysiwyg outfit, you don't need to fool with code. The learning curve is a bit steep for a while, but it soon becomes easy. There's a free equivalent called Kompozer which works okay but can't deal with frames. I use it to build ebooks because its very tolerant of Word html, doesn't blink no matter how big the file.
