    I also used iWeb to design and MobileMe to host my website, and yes, they are being discontinued as of June 2012 (iWeb can still be used to design the site, but it would have to be hosted elsewhere, and iWeb is not likely to be updated further).  I've looked into many options including WordPress and the other template sites.  If you want to design your own site though (many of us cannot stand the out-of-the-box templates), these templates are fairly limiting.  Another option I have been testing is Muse by Adobe, which is a subscription program (free while in beta).  If you know the other Adobe products,  especially InDesign, then the design process will be very familiar to you.  If you've used iWeb (or RapidWeaver/DreamWeaver, etc.) to design your own site in the past, then Muse should allow you to recreate that design easily (or develop a better one) without HTML or other programming skills needed.  You may even be able to use other marketing material that you have built in InDesign directly to jump-start the website design.

    This is just another option to consider.  I hope this helps.
