web site's design

sergebroomI just finished making a bunch of much needed changes to my wife's site, what with her novel Lord of Legends about to be released on April 1. I managed to implement the changes without any major goofup, and fixed the minor oopsies within a few minutes. It always amazes when I do this successfully even though I never once did it disastrously.
This may be one of the last times I'll be doing this though.
You see, Sue's site basically was built using hand-carved html, as my friend Abi would call what her hubby does for their own site. Someone set up Sue's about 10 years ago, and I've been sort-of figuring out how to make changes for the last 4 years. That can be a lengthy process. That's one issue with the site.
I think there are softwares out there that allow a person to build and easily maintain a site without ever having to touch html, but I don't know the good ones, nor what their strengths and weaknesses are.
The other issue is that Sue doesn't like the site's look anymore. She also wants to have a blog be part of her site, instead of its being elsewhere, like on LiveJournal. Basically we'd need someone who is good with design and who could rebuild the whole thing from scratch. Maintenance - for example setting up a new section for her latest book - could hopefuly be done by yours truly, but web design is not my forte, and is beyond my meager skills.
I'm sure there are people who could do the design and rebuilding, but we probably couldn't afford them. Still, there's no harm in asking my visitors.
