I would vote for Visual Studio as one of the most complete development environments. The express edition is free and mostly functional, for most sites would be enough.

To do anything respectable, you MUST write code, as any website developer does. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the most elemental tools to make any kind of website, and most likely you may need PHP or ASP to do something more complex.
Graphical interfaces for building websites are totally useless for any serious purpose, just for the most basic elemental tasks. If you don't know any other thing, go for a blog instead, but for making a web site yourself, code is a must.
