I use Webeasy 8. Cost me about $80 from Harvey Norman. It isn't ultra sophisticated but then neither are my ambitions. Have a look at Mount Alexander Winery (http://www.mawine.com.au) or TOG Festival (http://www.tasteofgoldfestival.com.au) for examples.

Many webhosts provide you with good free solutions you install and customise yourself, including commerce solutions. Let me know if you would like some more info.

What about iWeb , comes preinstalled on OSX , its as WYSIWYG as you can get.
Personally I use Taco HTML Edit but its more hands on.

Not on the latest OS X release nor is it supported by Apple anymore.

I have iweb, but as its no longer supported by Apple, i have decided not to use it....
I used to use a web design system from a company called sights and sound, basic set up price, is $1200, with on going monthly of $30, basically they did first 5 pages and then you just add extra stuff via the CMS, very easy to use too, and the E-commence part of it was a very easy to navigate.

Go with an open source CMS such as drupal, mambo or joomla. Most decent web hosts allow you just to click and install these. You then don't have to worry about the Mac/Windows thing and you can edit the site from where ever.

Juddy,
Suggest you google Joomla and start using it... Very flexible & free, even an idiot (me) can use it:D. You just need to make sure that your web host supports it.

Hi
A hosted CMS solution like wordpress, joomla, drupal etc is a good way to go unless you are comfortable with FTP uploads and possibly ssh access.

If you do take the CMS path, make sure you take regular backups

Make sure whatever you do design that it works on an iPhone or iPad (or any smartphone/tablet).
I've lost track of the number of businesses that I've been in the area, googled their website, couldn't read it so hit back and found - and subsequently bought from - a business whose website I could access on the move.
