I was wondering if there was a frontpage equivalent for OS X? I don't really want to spend hundreds of dollars on dreamweaver. Is there something cheap that works really well that I can build my website with?

Thanks

I wouldn't consider frontpage cheap. It is $199. If you want cheap, you may have to learn html. If you have ms word, you can use that for some basic web development.

Mozilla comes with a good little free composer app called, appropriately enough, "Composer". It's not yet available as a stand-alone application under OS X, so you'd have to grab the whole Mozilla suite.

Composer should work about as well for you as Frontpage does. It's not Dreamweaver; but hey, neither is Frontpage. :D

I've used it a few times... it was okay... but nothing "special".

You could try Freeway Express. I haven't tried it but it looks like it's about what you're looking for. Got good reviews when it was released.
