Why not use a "What you see is what you get (eg wysiwyg)" tool like
Coffeecup Visualsite Designer that does CSS. It really makes it easy to
design and maintain web pages, and the software is very reasonable
priced. It allow for the adding of all kinds of special effect to text,
like shadows, highlighting, etc, and then creates an image of the text
when the page is built. It includes an FTP tool for uploading the
entire website whenever additions or changes are made.
HTML and Javascripts can be including on a page created with Coffeecup
Visualsite Designer. Pages can also be integrated with you scripting
language of choice by cutting and pasting them into your scripts.
