The easiest solution on the Mac side of things IMHO to build a site is RapidWeaver - http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ - You literally do not need to know a line of code to use this software.

How it works: You have to own a domain and have hosting on that domain. Then, you setup RapidWeaver with that domain and your all set. It'sd basically a WYSIWYG editor plus an FTP client built in. When you edit a page you simply click update to have the updates pushed to your server.

Hope this helps!

Take a look at Squarespace.com.

The interface they provide to build sites on their platform is super simple and makes maintenance simple as well.

They allow you a 14-day no risk (i.e. no credit card required) trial so you can play with it and see if it's for you.

if you are just doing something like a blog, in a diary type of format, and you dont have time to learn some technical skills, maybe just use wordpress.com or blogger.

These offer a template and a place to host it for free, no annoying ads. Works great for me.
