    No software required to make a basic website, just a text editor like Notepad++ and some knowledge of HTML & CSS.

    True, but they have no knowledge of HTML etc.

    I'm looking for an intuitive (gui) piece of software that a 14 & 15 year old can get into and work through - make your own website for beginners type thing

    Get them a book which is easy to follow - nice GUI software is not going to help them down the road but understanding the fundamentals will. The CodeDojo book gets very good reviews.
