Website design software?

I've had wb4jfi.com and wb4jfi.org set up for a while now, using
justhost.com as the provider. I haven't had the time, interest, or
knowledge to build up those sites, and have used some very basic HTML
editing to put anything at all there. I now want to expand that site
some, but am confused on the benefits of various web tools.
justhost.com provides a simple "Site Builder" which is interactive and
web-based. It also appears rather limited, due to the simple
user-interface. They also support Joomla and Wordpress. While these
aren't Greek, they might as well be. I sort of understand that
Wordpress is a blog software package, with limited CMS, and Joomla is a
CMS. I also have an HTML editor and simple web page creator from Coffee
Cup that I bought a while back.
What I want to do is be able to put stuff at wb4jfi.com without taking
up a lot of time and effort. Every hour spent on building the website
is another hour taken away from SDR design, or other worthwhile ham
radio project. I kind of like the idea of a blog, but not something
that takes up a lot of time organizing the thing. I have a book on
Wordpress, and am reading through it right now. It seems OK. I also
have a book on Joomla on the way. The thing that bothers me about both
of them is the setting up, and specialized software on the server required.
Oh, and one more thing, for those that don't know me very well, I have
trouble drawing a stick-figure. I am NOT an artist of any kind!
Given all the above, does anyone out there in virtual taco-land have
comments or suggestions to help me out?
Thanks,
Terry, WB4JFI
