oswd.org is definitely awesome for templates. Just pick a nice looking
one, cut out the code you don't need, and replace the content with your
own.

That's basically what I did with my church website recently, although I
also integrated the template with a little Perl CGI to make it easier to
maintain the site. http://mcgrathroadbaptistchurch.org

For WYSIWYG, I guess there is KompoZer
(http://www.kompozer.net/screenshots.php) though I don't know if that
would really speed up the process at all.
