Would be great to see the GPL version of Divi. PM sent.
You could try Expression Web, which is the continuation of Microsoft Frontpage. Best thing of all, it is free.
If it's gpl, just post here...?
I am using Pinegrow and it's quite cool
A bit more advanced perhaps though^^
Most of Wordpress "PREMIUM" Themes and Plugins are GPL. The "license" is just for support and update.
Elementor Pro is awesome too. but unfortunately as far as I know it is not GPL. Divi and Beaver Builder Clearly State that they are GPL.
@KuJoe depending on your daughters age how about NetObjects Fusion? I gave it to my nephew and he did some good work in it. It will allow you to upload to your own server. I think it can even be set to use sftp to automatically send it when publish is clicked. -- netobjects.com
try as service wix.com
I sit corrected:

I've it on my PC. I don't know if I am allowed to share like this.
GPL give you the 4 Freedom. Feel free to share / sell / hack / redistribute / whatever you named it here.
For learning, plugins like Firebug or any DOM editor can do real-time updating of HTML, so essentially an editor and WYSIWYG. The only issue with them is usability and occasionally hanging the page as you type in new code.
Even tho it's GPL. It's mentioned that
You may not offer them, modified or unmodified, for redistribution or resale of any kind.That's for the PSD files.
My bad, didn't understood clearly. However, Instead of linking to my gdrive. Here's the site you can find great GPL themes and plugin: Theme Page
Most are free, they recently moved few items into premium membership.

Mozilla seamonkey comes with a html editor (WYSIWYG ) which is very handy .

And for learning purpose I highly recommend Khan Academy.

I've used this and it works great;

Navigator 4 will never die.
I think the major problem is that he (I assume) wants his daughter to learn something along the way. A bit like "Today you click things together ... and later, step by step, we look/learn what's behind it and how things work".
Otherwise, pretty any office suite offers an easy way to click and type a webpage (via html export). Of course, the code is awful but I guess that's true for most clickedy click designers, too. Problem is that the girl will learn something about the tool (which she almost certainly won't use later) rather than about creating webpages.
I don't remember the name anymore ("nvu"?) but I seem to remember that netscape/mozilla had some halfway decent designer that also showed the relation between what one clicked and the html generated. Which, I guess, is what @KuJoe wants for his girl.
Thanks for all of the responses. A lot of the suggestions are way more advanced than I was looking for but some of them were good. I mainly wanted a "click template, drag pictures from desktop to where you want them, type a little text". I should have stated that my daughter is still learning to read and write so any IDEs are out of the question and anything that requires reading is going to be tough. So far the WYSIWYG editors offered by Wix, Weebly, and SquareSpace seem like the perfect fit but I will try to find other cheaper solutions that will let me use my own hosting.
Did you take a look at Mobirise? It's essentially what you mentioned. It gives you a template that you can edit by dragging and dropping, pictures are added with a few clicks and you can export to your own hosting as a HTML file.
I've built a couple sites with it that I can DM to you if you'd like.
It's also free unless you want the extras but you can easily go without them like I do.
Oh in that case wordpress sitebuilder (free) is something to look into @KuJoe ?
Not Wordpress, ever.
Haha aight
I guess wix is a good way to go then^^
My uncle used Incomedia to build his first website but it's also a bit more advanced I think
Can wix be deployed on local server ?
Bootstrap Studio (https://bootstrapstudio.io) It's $25 for one year of upgrades (Which I think is sufficient). Also, you can check web demo on website.
I've tried it and it's the most simplest you can find.
We have vastly different definitions of simple then.
This was the most I can find (self-hosted), last option I can tell is weebly with export to own hosting.
P.S. If you ever decide WordPress; Divi, Layerswp and Visual Composer are easier. Beaver builder as well!
I know some schools in the UK used Serif WebPlus for younger kids to learn very basic web design. Not actively developed but very simple to use, last update support HTML5 to some extent. Can probably pick up a cheap copy somewhere.
Not used it, but others I know moved onto Xara as a replacement for WebPlus, probably easier to obtain and actively updated.
Might as well teach her how to bootstrap v4 and some javascript. I would be happy if my childrens say "col-md-6" instead of "gugugaga" as their first words..
