Answer 2

\You can have a program make a website for you via WYSIWYG editors where you drag-drop stuff. Programs like Frontpage. Many web hosts like Geocities have these type of editors for you. They create a simpler and template-based (but ugly most likely) website and you don't have to learn anything new.

You can also learn HTML, which is very easy. W3Schools have good tutorials on HTML. By learning HTML, you learn the fundamentals of making websites. When you have your own HTML, you are not restricted to a template-like design and use your own creativity to make your own website. If you learn HTML, learn CSS too, which work wonderfully for styling your web pages.

You don't need to learn a lot, but if you have the basics, you can get a website running through some web host like Geocities, Freewebs, AtSpace, etc... (Google 'web hosts').

Answer 3

Begin with setting up your own webpage as your current internet provider will provide free hosting as discussed below.

If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool which is totally free. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.

Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.

When you acquire a domain name, connect it using a redirection service [as discussed above] and submit/publish the domain name on major search engines/directories in order for Net surfers to find your website.

Good luck!

Answer 4

It's easy to get started. Basically, any site that will allow you to build a website for free will give you the option to do so using their tutorials and options or with your knowledge of HTML or whatever other programming you know. They will most likely also have a paid version that will give you your own domain name and other options. Like others on here told you, I would suggest Freewebs.

Answer 5

Well it looks like you won't be doing a website.
You have to purchase a DOMAIN name and then you need to have a provider HOST your site, and finally you will need to have the software to develop, and administor your site. Some or part of the above mentioned you might find free, but not all, It is going to cost you.
