Web design software - simple yet flexible?

jjlothin

Does anyone know of any web design software (ideally free, but I've experimented with a few freeware programmes and they mostly seem to have drawbacks of one kind or another) which is essentially WYSIWYG, not too clunky and with the possibility of using HTML (of which I know a TINY amount!) for finetuning?

It would also be good if it was something with the ability to import an existing (simple) website for further work.

I've been using weebly.com but it's pretty unwieldy and - fairly often - won't do what it says it's doing!

Any suggestions welcome!

Give Kompozer a try.

I'm about the same standard, I use a mixture of Kompozer (anewhope) and Notepad++.

Many thanks to everyone for all these useful suggestions, which I'm in the process of trying out!
