It's really quite a shame we don't have current equivalents of FrontPage and VisualBasic. Sure, the code they generated wasn't clean at all, but those tools allowed average users to create some fairly sophisticated sites and tools. I remember a friend in college just randomly asked me to look over the site she had made for the nonprofit she volunteered at. She had never expressed even the slightest interest in programming, and frankly was your average windows user in 2007; really only familiar with office. Sure, the actual Html was atrocious, and changing anything directly in the code was nigh-impossible, but the site itself actually looked pretty good. I really only needed to help with getting it setup on hosting, since it was mostly a static site the FrontPage output was completely fine. This nonprofit didn't have the money to hire me, since that type of webdev was fairly lucrative, but since it only took a few hours of my time I just comped the work. I don't know of a modern equivalent aside from something like squarespace, which has a monthly fee that small orgs might find prohibitive.
