Have a look at:

The Composer component of Mozilla (FREE) 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/mozilla-mac-MachO-1.
4.dmg.gz

Composer is WYSIWYG, easy to use, and may be all that you need for a very 
nice personal Web site.  It is quite a bit like Claris Homepage.



Tumult HyperEdit 
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~deutschj/HyperEdit/
is a FREE lightweight HTML editor (so you have to know HTML to use this 
product to create a Web site) with a preview pane that displays the web 
page live as you type. HyperEdit breaks the tedious cycle of writing 
html, saving the file, then reloading and viewing the page in the browser 
by combining the writing phase with the viewing phase. This clarifies the 
effects of your changes and speeds up the overall process of making a web 
page. It uses the same rendering engine found in Safari, so it is not 
only standards compliant, but also very fast.


Freeway Express ($79) is a consumer-level version of the professional 
WYSIWYG program, with a simplified interface and many web site templates.
