If you are in a hurry and want to create a site for your business, club, family or personal use for free - visit this page.
Website development tutorial
Learn how to create your site for free in 7 easy steps: Plan, Design, Code (HTML), Upload (FTP), Test, Upload (FTP), Promote, and Maintain. A quick review of these steps is shown below:
1. Plan your site. Outline the purpose, goal(s), target audience, content needed and the overall style wanted. Also, pick your hosting service -- free or commercial.
2. Design your site. Visual appearance is the first thing a visitor sees upon entering a Website. The use of colors, consistency, content, graphics, navigation and Web style all work together toward creating an effective site.
3. Code your site. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the 'Code' used to specify text, multimedia documents (graphics, video, animation, and sound). Plus, create hyperlinks between documents. You don't need an expensive HTML editor to create your code, just use the Windows text editor - Notepad. Notepad
4. Upload your files. Upload or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to transfer files between two computers, via the Internet. When using FTP, you use a program, its called a FTP client.
5. Test (validate) your site. Check your Web pages against the formal standard published by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), check your Web pages for broken links and identify spelling errors. Various validation services are available for free.
6. Promote your site. Add Meta data to each Web page; register your site with the top search engines and directories. Also, don't forget to promote your site off-line.
7. Maintain your site. Keep your site up to date. If you want people coming back, you must add new information on a regular basis. Having a Website means your job is never done!

Probably the easiest and shortest way to do this would be to establish an account on a free server such as Myspace. Most of the code is prewritten to generate your web site; you will just have to insert content.
If you're feeling slightly more ambitious, you could set up a web site on geocities or something similar. THis would require you to write more HTML code, but it would be more flexible to match your own desires for your web site.
If you're felling really ambitious, you can go to www.W3schools.com and learn all about how to properly make a website from scratch.

It depends on what you're after. Are you looking for something along the lines of .com? or would a tripod or geocities site be enough?
Have you signed up with myspace? Maybe that would be enough for what you're looking to do. If you're interested in the design portion of it, then you'll want to try something like geocities, which offers free webspace. Also most of these free services have website design utilities that you can use online, so you set up your site, then you can design it all right there online.
There are a lot of resources on the web for web design, just do a search for "HTML" or "web design" things of that nature will return mass quantities of information for you. As for the free webspace, do a search for "free web hosting" and you'll find it, but here's a couple links:
Yahoo's GeoCities, been around a long long while:
http://geocities.yahoo.com
I had never seem Freewebs before, but it looks like a pretty nice deal:
http://members.freewebs.com
And then there's tripod, offered by lycos:
http://www.tripod.lycos.com
Just remember, as with most things online, the search engine is your friend! :)

Go to http://freewebs.com or any free site out there.. They don't show ads so I would pick them.. Then either look up tutorials online for how to design HTML & CSS.. Or.. Get some templates and try to figure out how to update them.. You will still need knowledge, but any little start helps you to learn and then figure out your direction.. If you have more specific questions feel free to contact me and I can help you to design a smooth beginner website..

1. You need a domain name buy one from somewhere like hypermart.com
2. setup a hosting account with someone, they will
"HOST" your new domain that you bought.
3. design your website on PAPER so you have an idea
of what you want it to look like.
4. Use a program like frontpage, hotdog or others
to actually create the website programming.

You can easily create your own website on:
http://geocities.yahoo.com (Contains a web-page builder wizard, so you needn't b eworried about complex HTML codes... As you are a school-going student, you can try this...)
http://pages.google.com
Both are free of cost..

Try to use either "Microsoft Front Page" or "Net Object Fusion". Both these software are good for beginners.
