If you want a free wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor then you might want to check out Nvu. Its pretty full featured and has a good interface.

first of all learn HTML and CSS. Without these you cann't create a good, error free site even if u use dreamweaver or else.
i use
dreamweaver, homesite, WeBuilder and TopStyle and i use em all after trying tonnes of other softwares and still they need a some knowledge.

I don't think dreamweaver is difficult to use. Its very user friendly. When I used it first I didn't had to read its manual for help.

Homesite, TopStyle, HTML Pad or WeBuilder are some good html editors

dreamweaver is a very good option but if you're used to working on MS products like word etc, you could try microsoft's expressions web designer which although is in beta stages, but does offer some nice design capabilities. You can try it for free from: http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx

one more vote for dreamweaver, IMO it is the best and easy to learn and use, before start building your site get some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, this will help you a lot.
All the best....:)

To make your self a real simple first web site i would recomend playing with microsoft word and then saving what you create as html. later i found it was a good way to learn about html structures by looking at the source of what i created in word

simple and best start with notepad and when you become familier with all those things start with any good html editor

I would use Dreamweaver if you want to use a wysiwyg or crimson editor if you want to do the code side of things. You should also invest in a graphics package such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.

Dreamweaver is definately not hard to use. You should download an eval version and try it.
