Bioinformatics.Org hosts SMS (Sequence Manipulation Suite) by Paul
Stothard.  Check out

http://bioinformatics.org/sms/

It has over 35 separate programs for DNA and protein manipulation.  It  is
an excellent (and free) suite of programs written in Javascript, so there
is not installation required, yet all the processing is done client-side
so it is quick.  All the forms have example inputs as defaults, so its
easy to understand and use.  It sounds like a perfect fit for your
requirements.
