Dreamweaver is responsible for the horrible 640px and 800px tabular layouts from the aughts and many other web design sins. The marginalization of these vertical tools is the greatest thing to come out of modern web dev infrastructure. You can still buy it for nostalgia though.
You could find a web host and just start pushing HTML to it.
GitHub pages is free and great for static websites.
He said "without the complicated stuff" and "Dreamweaver". Github Pages is all command-line and uses Git for file transfer, does it not? I think the OP is thinking drag-and-drop folders through FTP like good ol' Dreamweaver.
