Hi

Can anyone reccomend a website design/maintenance package for the Mac?

It's not for a "pro", so it needs to be cheap (ideally under £100) and simple enough for a relative novice. It doesn't need to be able to create anything stunningly complex... I'm not looking for snazzy graphics or Flash animation or anything like that.

Cheers

Edit: And not iWeb... from what I gather that requires you to have a .mac account (which the user will not have), and is focussed on producing Blog-style sites, which is not what I'm after. Cheers.

Not that I'm advocating iWeb, but, FWIW, it lets you use any host - it just has built-in support for .Mac, but there's no requirement for a .Mac account.

I've been impressed with both RapidWeaver and Sandvox.

Also, FWIW, iWeb does not require a .Mac account, although some features (AJAX slideshows) do require .Mac to work.

I echo the RapidWeaver recommendation.
