Another app for people that can't code or design for the web? Learn basic design, HTML 5 and CSS 3 instead. This will serve you better in the end. The world is full of skilled designers/coders sharing their knowledge in these things and helping newbies out. Knowing your stuff means better control and much faster development.

Comment: save your money. You can learn to do this, and while you are learning, there are more reasonable choices on MacUpdate that actually work.
