Hopefully one of the Mac masters in here will be able to help out. I design (really crappy) websites, but they are still important to me (for an example of crappy website see - Bands For Hire Live | Music Bands | Wedding Bands | Cover Musicians | Wedding Musicians | Entertainment in your city )

I have been using Microsoft Expression on my PCs but now I have gone to all Mac gear.

Any good ideas on a great website design program for macbook? I need something simple that I can use WYSIWYG and a little HTML coding. I don't like the Dreamweaver, Flash design programs - too much - I need the most basic program possible

I may already have one on my computer and not even know it...

Thanks so much!

Can you find a copy of iWeb? It shipped with iLife '09.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't even know how to look at see what programs I have. There is, of course, that row of programs across the bottom (the ones that get bigger when I mouse over them) but where is the full list of programs that I have?

Thank you so much for helping!

Oh wait! I clicked on the Launch button and it showed me a bunch of other programs - and iWeb is there!

Is the Launch button where I will find ALL of the programs on my macbook or are there more?

You should look in your applications folder. Launch button?

The dock is the row of programs across the bottom (although you can move it). Towards the right of it you will see what looks like a stack and if you hover it says applications. This is one way of finding applications. Search is at the top right of the screen. Another method is to go to finder, double-click your hard drive to open, and then open the applications folder.

RapidWeaver is a good recommendation.
