Others have mentioned several WYSIGYG (what you see is what you get) editors. However, they're quite limited. If simplicity is what you're after, I recommend something like Google Sites. But really, you should learn HTML and CSS. They aren't too difficult, and they'll open up many possibilities. In my opinion, except for quickly-thrown-together sites, you want to write the site yourself.
Suggested editors: Everyone has their own favorites. I mostly use Gedit and VIM. Others have other preferences. No matter. Any decent editor will have HTML support built in.
