They have a very "lite" version called Design Wizard.

I've never used it because I have EQ, but it's a way to get some experience and use out of design software, and the price is right.
It's like some people only use 1% of what Word or Excel software is capable of and don't even realize it.
You might find DW fits your need. And if you ever did want to switch to EQ, you're not out a ton of money.
