A lot depends on how sophisticated your web pages need to be (do they use
scripting, advanced css etc). For basic pages, I just love muse-mode. I've
customized the headers/preamble etc and now have really simple muse pages
which are automatically published when I make changes. Works really well
for fairly striaght-forward pages and I can always generate PDF,
PostScript, Bloxsome, texinfo, tex, latex etc from the same sources.

Muse uses a simple, but quite powerful wiki like markup and has support for
tables, footnotes, <pre> tags etc.
