Freeway vs. Rapidweaver vs. Sandvox



I need to kickstart my website for my real job, Blue Heron Gallery. Although I spent many thousands on the site development with Masterpiece Solutions, it is based on a PC /Foxpro system and I am not really comfortable on that platform anymore. It is too time consuming and laborious. The upshot is that my site never gets updated. They are going to change to a cloud type web based site but it might take as long as a year. I might go back to Masterpiece when they get the new version up and running but think I have to make a move and find a new host.

Does anyone have suggestions for a mac website tool that will give me the ease and fluidity I have with this blog and isn't too expensive? I need to start pushing my website, since I have a long recuperation to look forward to. I don't have a lot of experience with html code. I want to get something up in the next two weeks before my surgery.

Any advice will be appreciated.

RapidWeaver has more themes than Sandvox, however both are good.

Alternatively you could get a free or purchase a CMS theme, or any other CMS theme and install the CMS and use that.
eg. http://themeforest.net/ http://www.elegantthemes.com/
Then you can change the images and style and use the CMS to change your site. They have image gallery.
