I have a new business and want my website to show up with the search engines. I don't know much about how to do this, and certainly do not know much about the programming side. Any suggestions for the beginner? Thanks!

I hope your site is cool and have more information.
Typically the search engine crawler such as GoogleBot will crawl your site and will index your site.
Also make sure you know how to optimize your site for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Here are few resources which might help you.

You have to use meta tags within the HTML coding in your site....
For instance if you sell Flowers, you have to make sure that the meta tags contain the word flower, flowershop, petals etc, everything to do with flowers - that is Search Engine optimization.
Also, if you are looking to market a particular product eg Flowers, you have to make sure the word is repeated as many times as grammatically possible on your page, so Search engines pick it up.
Another way is you could use pay per click, google/yahoo ads where you pay a little money to be featured on the site as ads when someone searches for the product/service you offer. Keep in mind tho, that you only pay for the ad placement when someone actually clicks on the ad.(Hence the name)
The ads that appear on search engines are known as PPC ads.
SEO and PPC is a huge industry and many web design companies offer it as part of their portfolio. You could talk to local companies and discuss rates with them. Be wary though, there are quite a few scam artists out there

You can optimise your site for search engines, buy hits to increase your Alexa ratings, which will have an effect on your search results, and you can buy banner ads.
You could also sponsor affiliate advertising by having others place your banner onto their websites, and you simply pay them a percentage or flat fee for any sales that are generated.

There's a lot of other information that you may find of use.
Good luck!

Some of the best ways to get your website notice are to provide original ideas/content, to keep your website looking clean and streamlined, and to appeal to people on the level that they will spread your address by word of mouth.

Give something away free. Say 20% off to the first 100 buyers.
