I second this, though my analoge on my Mac is SimpleText. I learned HTML when I was in 8th grade back in 1997 (I feel old now) the LONG way. In my never humble opinion, M$ Frontpage is a HORRIBLE program and inserts and uses non-standard, non-cross-complient "crapcoed" (in my terms). Many of its special features for webpages are not supported and cannot be used without the proper extensions running on the webserver.
Okay, with my rant over, I also recommend starting with Macromedia's Dreamweaver free trial. I realize that this goes against my coding by hand mentality, but I'm also a realist in that not everyone wants to learn how to code (X)HTML. Dreamweaver also has tutorials and lots of info on the internet, so you shouldn't have a problem learning it, espeically if you want to do a simple site.
I also recommend that if the site has more than ~6 pages that you concentrate on good navigation. Most horrible sites on the internet that have decent content would be much better if only they'd have good navigation that makes sense.
