What is a the best software to use for making a web site for my small business?

Dreamweaver is high end and very expensive. The learning curve is also pretty high. But you can do anything with it. I use it but it took me a long time to master it.

There are a lot of visual web design software's out there. Do a search and compare features and ratings. Many are free.

I go to China on business frequently and use my Personal VPN, http://www.surfbouncer.com/unblock_china.htm to unblock sites, and keep access to my outside sites.

Also important is that when you FTP your web pages they will be in the clear and anyone on your local network there can lift your password and hack your page at will. Use the VPN as it is encrypted and will secure your stuff.

a professional looking page will take a long time to learn

i am curious how you plan on publishing it to the web behind China's firewall

i would think ftp would also be blocked

plenty grab someone else's page that they like and modifying it

you can see your own site by opening up a browser and opening up the htm file that is stored on your computer

what I usually do is just use Windows Notepad, save changes, pull it up in the browser to see what it looks like, go back to Notepad, make more changes, back to browser and do an F5 to refresh the page.

I feel dreamweaver will take to long. And small businesses do not need it.

You could try Xara Web Designer or Web Easy Professional from Avanquest.

Both are easy to use and the sites are really nice!

You can purchase and download Xara from the main website I think you can do the same with Web Easy but check first.

Use Xara Web Designer

StrongVPN will get you over the great firewall of China. There are other VPN services as well.

MS offers free sites you might find satisfactory:
