Dreamweaver has a lot of functionality and a short learning curve. If you have a child in school you can get an acadimic version (which means the product can't be upgraded) for less than 100. Full retail is $350 - $450. So find a kid to buy it for (son, grandson, neighbors son...).
You can usualy find out something about the software used to make a web site by viewing the source. If you see a site that you like select VIEW/Source. Look are the first few lines inspecting the
<meta name="generator" content=
the content attribute will often provide the name of the software used for the website. For example the line of interest for this site is:
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.0.0" />
For your site it's:
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
for my site it's:
<META name="generator" content="LView(R) Pro Web Gallery">
Part of developing a web site is putting it together. These things are not automatic, it takes a while. If you can create a "style" that delivers the user experince you are looking for and carry that "style" throughout your site you will be doing less work latter on.
I looked at your site and noticed that the pictures were less than perfect. Pictures also take time, effort and money.
A lot of us have a lot more time than money. For us learning HTML is a cheap way to make a web site. For some of us we want the web site to look nice and we don't want to spend more than a couple of hours getting it looking nice. I figue it takes a couple hours to get a nice looking photo (as opposed to a snapshot) on a web site. So if you want to spend more time turning and less time sitting in front of the computer feeling frustrated you should pay someone to make your web site for you. You will still have to supply the source material. But there is no learning curve and you don't need to concern yourself with a bunch in information and skills which you won't use again.
So those are your three choices as I see it:
Learn HTML and spend the time and effort to do it yourself.
Be satisfyed with a less than perfect web site.
Pay someone who knows what they are doing to help you make a web site.
