Hi Lars,

  FrontPage is fine for simple sites, but the HTML code it generates
tends to be extremely "bloated".  NetObjects Fusion has been around
a long time too and I've heard some good things about it although
I've never tried it.

  Allaire has two products that are very good as well.  The first is
Homesite.  It has both graphical (WYSIWYG) editing as well as more
traditional code-based editing. You can flip back and forth between
the two, so its good for people just getting started as well as those
that have some experience with HTML directly.  The other is
Cold Fusion Studio.  It's been described as Homesite on steroids :)
It's basically the same but has many more functions built into it to
handle non-HTML coding as well (like JAVA, JAVASCRIPT, Cold Fusion,
etc).
</plug>
  If you decide to go the demo route, I believe all of the above
have demo's available from the web.
