With a link on "fr community" we would be able to look at what you talk
about.
I certainly would not like to use a site builder making things like this
<http://www.combell.com/en/hosting/sitebuilder/examples>.
I don't like buzzing, showy pages but information like this
<http://www.papou.byethost9.com/maps/>  or a little prettier like this
<http://www.papou.byethost9.com/environment/> or even prettier but I
didn't mind making them.
I like composing plain HTML that I master instead of generating tons of
code that I don't understand.
And, as you can see, I have absolutely no multilingual problem, even
Chinese, if you pardon Google errors.
I do it with Kompozer <http://www.kompozer.net/> which is WYSIWYG but
allows to do small (or larger) changes directly to HTML.
Kompozer is much like using Libre office writer simply with the ability
to open the bonnet.
And many programs can export pretty HTML, but often ugly (too
complicated) inside.
No complicated site management, the server's files appear to be local.
Al that is free.
Anyway, a site builder that allows to include HTML pages is OK.
But $160 is the price of 2 smartphones that can be used as GPS and for
tracing ;-)

Cheers,

André.
