You should go with Dreamweaver 8. Try it out by downloading the free software (30 days only) from adobe.com (adobe owns dreamweaver now). And see if you like it. I know you'll love it because even though it's hard at first but once you get used to it it's one of the easiest WYSIWYG programs. If you want to get the real version, you can go get it illegally but that's risky, I don't know. Also, go try Adobe Photoshop--it's a good layout designer, it's helped me a lot. ADobe has their own webpage maker it's called Adobe GoLive! It's a CSS designer but I haven't tried it. They say it's an easy drag and drop page maker but it sounds too easy but the pages they sampled are pretty cool.

Has anyone tried the Adobe GoLive?

I think what you are looking for is probably NETSCAPE...I believe the browser itself give you the ability to design web pages through its interface. Look into it if you can, because that is how I started web design in high school. NETSCAPE web editor helps you design your page but it wont host it for you online, that you will need to find a host like this forum here, or other free hosts.
