My niece needs some aid in finding a software package to build web
pages. She's a beginner - she's gotten a part time job with a state
legislator who needs her to build a web page. I did some Googling but I
don't know anything about it so I don't know what to tell her.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

An install of Wordpress on a hosted site that does automatic security
might be the best approach, then. You'd basically be providing dated
postings, undated pages and photos.

My recommendation is to take a look at Freeway, which comes in two
editions, Freeway Express and Freeway Pro. Freeway allows one to create
a website without having any knowledge of the underlying HTML code.
Furthermore the Freeway interface is completely visual. And furthermore
Freeway is unique amongst website development applications in that the
underlying code produced is fully W3D compliant, something rarely
achieved with other website development applications.

Freeway can be found at <www.softpress.com> and there are free trial
periods for both the Express and Pro editions.

A state legislator that needs to deal with a wide audience and
this guy wants a total beginner to make him a website? Any
relation to George Bush? Let me know when it is done and I will
eat this here hat (it is old and dirty as hell) if it is up to
any kind of decent standard.

Or perhaps the legislator has asked your niece to fix the matter
up which includes getting an experienced person or company to do
the job properly.

I think you don't understand the lower levels of US politics. A state
legislator in a flyover state is about as important as a dog catcher in
a big city, or being the mayor of some crappy little southern Ontario
town, or being president of the audio-visual club in high school.
