I would caution you about using WYSIWYG editors for HTML.
I would agree with that, but having used Dreamweaver pretty extensively in the past, I've found it good for mockups, *and* it doesn't muck up your code by adding in superfluous tags like MS Word or Frontpage does. Since it's probably due in a couple weeks anyway, he could just download a trial version, too, if cost is an object.

Besides, it sounds like in the OP's situation, getting something together quick in Dreamweaver and tweaking it is probably easier than doing it by hand, especially considering he doesn't know HTML very well, and it doesn't seem to be the focus of the class.
