I have a friend that has been creating a simple web site for a club she belongs to. She has been using MS Publisher to create the web site's files and uploading them to a shared hosting server.

The trouble is that the HTML that Publisher creates only seems to work well on Internet Explorer. I need recomendations for a simple web site editor that produces decent HTML and is easy to use. My friend has very little in the way of technical skill. The web site is just static text in about half a dozen pages.

I use Bluefish to edit web pages. It's great for static pages and gives you control over every aspect of the design. You did not specify if you want a WYSIWYG editor, this is not one of those.

Does the hosting allow running a CMS? Then the site can easily be managed online, one such system is OpenCMS.

NVU (free) is supposed to be pretty good, but you may find it easier to use an easy to use web CMS like Wordpress instead.

I actually like the free edition of Microsoft's Visual Studio, if your friend is willing to spend a few minutes learning to use it. It isn't any more complex than, say, MS Word.
