I appreciate it very much. Sincerely, Chris. I get that you can edit the code with a simple text editor. But maybe I'm missing something or maybe I wasn't clear enough. I don't really want to hand edit code. I either want to get a template and then just customize it to suit my needs using a WYSIWYG type editing program, or just create my own template.
But again, I would want to use a WYSIWYG program. I have nothing against hand coding its just something I'm not going to get into. So therefore I need a good program to do the code generating for me.
I understand that Artisreer is probably the program to use I'd you start from scratch, but it cannot edit existing templates that you can purchase. So if I do want to buy a nice template and then do some minor WYSIWYG editing, what is the best program to go with. I get that you can edit the code with a simple text editor.

Click to expand.Probably best that you use then; I have no how to use it as I prefer to use Fireworks & Photoshop.
As a pro I couldn't imagine using a WYSIWYG editor of any kind as I find they throw up extraneous code, remove complete control and impose restrictions upon my creativity plus they remove all the fun of knowing the mechanics of how the underlying system works (and all the major advantages of that). If you do intend to try and modify any existing templates then be aware that you will need to abide by the licensing provided with that template - meaning that you may not have permission to redesign and reuse that template or that if you do then you must do so under certain conditions; that may entail that you rewrite and modify the provided licensing to reflect any changes made.
