After 4 months of beating my head against a wall with 2 different designers, I am going to build my own site.
I really like SiteCube, but the "designs" suck. Any sites similar to this that have better "designs" that aren`t so terrible?

They have a free tool that builds a site for you.
Otherwise its microsoft Front Page. Just copy someones HTML source code that you like and paste it into Front Page and change the text.
In IE6 go to VIEW > SOURCE > save as a text document.
Keep in mind, this is only to get the layout of the page.

Not a site builder, as such, but Open Source Web Design has hundreds of website designs that you can download to use as a starting point. If you`re not willing to learn HTML, you`ll still need some sort of WYSIWYG editor.

There are about a zillion sites out there offering website templates. Just do a Google search for something like "website templates". If you already have a host than you just modify the template to suit and then upload to your host.
You will probably still need an editor to modify and maintain the site. I do believe Front Page has long since passed on to the beyond. The hard core HTML geeks will tell you to just use notepad but if you want something for the more common morons (myself included) The closest thing Microsoft has now is probably Expression Web.

There are free tools out there for editing but I will let others who do more HTML coding that I point those out...
See if you can get your hands on a copy of Dreamweaver... my father`s got a copy from work, and it`s pretty easy to pick up and put out great work with.

If you`re like me, and just want to put something up without worrying about any code, try network solutions. You can even go in and design your site before paying for it to see if it will do everything you need to do. It will store all of your files, they have tons of templates, easy to figure out what does what. Mapquest option and a ton of other stuff.
Having done a number of template sites, NS was by far the easiest to figure out and get a good result quickly.

I highly recommend godaddy.com`s website tonight program. It is very easy to use. Also, it has a ton of different templates, photos, flash intro, etc. to implement into your site.
BTW, it`s only like $5 bucks a month!

I could be mistaken but I thought that both GoDaddy and Network Solutions website templates only work with their hosting programs. I do not believe you can use them with your own host but again I could be wrong but that was the impression I got when I looked at them ages ago.
Also consider homestead.com
