Stuart, 1. iWeb is incredibly easy to learn and use. You can have a website up in 10-20 minutes.
2. Sites can look as professional or as amatureish as you make them. If you don't like the way the templates look, each one has a blank page you can work from. The rest is up to your imagination. iWeb allows for live image adjustment, rotation, scaling drag & drop and more. Personally I like the drop shadow tool on photos. 3. As Ward said, you can use .Mac to host it with your URL which is the nice, easy one-touch way. To use your own hosting company, you simply publish it to a folder on your hard drive and use an FTP app to upload it to your own server. Aside from RapidWeaver, you might look at SandVox: http://www.karelia.com/ It's another very nice WYSIWYG editor with lots of extras.
