I decided to dive in and see just what the Wolfram "demonstrations" project entailed and - probably for the best - it's open to EVERYONE! Ooops.... every Mathematica 6 user. Welp, confusing "everyone" with "well, everyone who's purchased our product" makes me roll my eyes. It does mean I won't be wasting my time learning an "easy" interface; probably every bit as "easy" as their demonstrations are "simple," which is to say NOT.
Now, to hurdle whatever obstacle is preventing me from doing this...

FWIW you can just download the player and run them.
To create the demonstrations yes you need a copy of mathematica. If you're a student in some fashion it's not exorbitant. I use Mathematica for my job and it's a very quick way to play with things and being able to create little examples to hand out to people is great

I've got the player and I've run a few of them (that's what the "not simple" comment is based on).
I wouldn't use it for anything else and, sight unseen, I'm rather hesitant to invest in something - I could probably get it paid for if I *knew* would do what I want (um, and I could count on following through and doing it). There are an *awful* lot of programs out there that are "simple" and "quick" ... if you'll be using them enough for the assorted little skills to become automatic.
