Tools to make HTML/CSS work easier

I need to make an web interface for employees of a company to use. I don't have a person designated to doing design or markup, and they don't really need to be anything spectacular. Nonetheless, I would rather not focus too much time on markup and styles.

I'm wondering if there are any tools or techniques which can make this easier. It could be a WYSIWYG, or some kind of intermediary markup, but the end result should be clean simple HTML/CSS. I'm open to anything right now. Thanks.

I have to agree with @Karpie, but if you want to make your life with CSS easier you can try some CSS framework, there are many of them out there. I recommend you 960.gs or something like that for layout. Check it out.

There is a bunch of sites, offering you clean html templates for free, like:

http://www.free-css.com/ http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ http://www.opendesigns.org/

You can edit those templates, and make everything you want.

TinyMCE gives you very clean HTML output, even when you paste word to it

Its easy to implement, but if you want some kind of CMS try Wordpress it is very good for simple sites

Write it by hand - it's the only way to get clean, simple, valid and semantic HTML and CSS.

If you're willing to forgo the semantics, you may want to look into a CSS framework, to take care of some of the layout busywork. I am not a fan of them, but I've heard others find them quite useful. Blueprint and 960.gs are the two I hear about most frequently.
