Thanks for the help. Discovered that 1&1 support Wordpress, spent a couple of hours and now have a working website

I would agree it might be less hassle to do a rebuild in wordpress, simple enough to get to grips with and can get something basic up and running very quickly.
Also means you can delegate editor access to others for content so you only deal with the back end stuff.

If you wanted to tinker and learn you could just download a bootstrap theme (https://wrapbootstrap.com/), pay £20 for a decent one, use notepad or the mac equiv to change images and text and ftp the changes up to your hosting provider.

I'd recomend using them so you don't have to worry about security as much too.

Unless you want to learn a bit of web development, you're much better off just moving to something like a hosted wordpress site. I know you sad you don't want to move host etc. but it's a relatively small amount of upfront work and then maintenance can be done by anyone. Presumably it's stuff like news and event, which wordpress is ideal for.
There's tonnes of free themes that will give you a modern, responsive web site and can usualy be tweaked easily enough. Install theme, tweak the colours, add a header image/logo etc and you're done. Set up multiple users so they can add stuff themselves.

I don't want to change the host, and I don't particularly want to have to redesign the site from scratch (although that may be what I have to do).
I'm not a web developer, but have used FrontPage 97 & 2000 and have tinkered a bit with Dreamweaver CS5 a few years ago. I'm a bit old school and quite like looking at the code to work out what's going on and how to use it.
Given the amount of funding (£0.00), the current design and my experience, any suggestions for web design software that will run on a Mac and allow me to update the site?
