Best Program for Easy Website Development?

iWeb sites can be hosted on most web hosts since iWeb 2. You just have to publish to folder then upload the folder.

From the sounds of it, you aren't a coder, you want something to let you just point and click. That limits your options, especially if you want it for free. Rapidweaver is a typical suggestion (not free). Take a look through the stickies in this forum (also linked in my sig) to see some other software to take a look at. You'll be hard pressed to find a free option that you like and doesn't require any coding.

 

I'd say it sounds like you need to hire a web designer/developer. Designing an effective website isn't just a point and click venture, it helps to have a professional do it.

 

Yes, you should look into getting a web developer to help or look over your work. Are there any Universities nearby? Perhaps a student would like to work on it and use it as a portfolio piece.

Having said that I agree with angelwatt, one of your best bets might be RapidWeaver. It does cost money but not much (I think around $80), which in this troubling economic time might be hard to get the company to pony up for, but could be well justified with a nice site and increased traffic. Consider downloading the demo.
