I think Dreamweaver is excellent. It does most things a web site
developer wants to do in a straightforward intuitive way. "How do you
use it?" is comparable to asking the same question about a spreadsheet
program.

When I decided to produce a "one page" web site for myself I started
by going to http://www.oswd.org/ and choosing one I liked. I had
worked with HTML before but I knew that CSS was the latest thing so I
included it in my "advanced search". I did not know that I should be
using a version of XHTML but I luckily chose one that did. At the same
time I downloaded the 30 day trial of Dreamweaver from
<http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/>. Editing the
selected sample to conform to my one page site was easy and the
Dreamweaver 8 CSS view made the transition to CSS relatively painless.
Unfortunately, my one page site expanded and by this time I was
addicted to Dreamweaver so I was forced to buy a copy.

If you really just want a one page site then a free "HTML aware" text
editor and FTP program makes more economic sense but you can probably
do it in thirty days so you can try Dreamweaver for the same price.
