Might I suggest that you can also start with a *free* WYSIWYG development and then later if you can:
1) purchase the commercial and more powerful systems
2) learn how to program a web site, yes, it is all text and simple text editors will do
nVu, is free and has the following:
* in the My Sites pane on the left you can manage several sites and their page including FTP uploads and a Publish Tool Button like DW and FP
* view and edit based on WYSIWYG, Tags, source text, preview mode
* integrated spell checker
* insert PHP code
* insert widget [includes calendar] and other downloadable templates
From the menu>tools you have access to
* Markup Cleaner - fixes formating and other issues
* Validate HTML - passes your work to W3.org for validation
* CSS Editor - handles Style Sheets [give your users a choice of how they view the site such as light on dark [white/black] or different text / background colors by just creating different CSS files]
The last version of FrontPage I owned is '98 and would never buy DW.
Since I am a programmer, I will build my basic site with nVu [get the look and feel fast] and then use various text editors and FTP to manage the site.
Also nVu runs on Linux and Windows.
