A cnet article I received today gave their recommended list of free online tools for beginners (and sometimes others) to use in building their sites. Some of these things are absolutely amazing. Their output looks great and in a few seconds you can save a lot of work as well as making it easy for beginners.

It includes css typesett where you insert choices in a windows like fashion and get css code for your type, doTemplate where you choose a template and then use a simple form to modify margins, columns, even rounded corners, etc., and it generates a page template, a favicon generator, slideshow generator, button generator (nice looking web 2 buttons, etc.), and others (even a Wordpress theme generator).
Well worth checking out.
