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/subscribe... 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!

Well to build a professional website you will need to own a domain name you can purchase them form godaddy.com for under 10 dollars per year. you will also need a web host if you are not planning on putting up your own web server and making sure it stays up and running 24/7. I would recommend you go with the web host I have chosen as the benefits they offer on their middle of the road account are beyond compare. Fact is if you go with their middle account level they will literally buy you two domain names so you don't have to go to godaddy.com for them.
Once you have a Domain name and a hosting account it is time to start to build your site. Now many web hosting providers offer web page editors and you can also download free ones like nvo if you like but no matter which editor you choose you are always best off learning the languages yourself as there is not an editor on the market that will write clean compliant code.
You will want to learn (x)HTML, CSS, JavaScript as well as a server side programming language like PHP and a DBMS like MySQL in the near future.
You will also want to be sure the pages you create follow the international standards as published by the world wide web consortium (W3C). You will be using CSS for positioning of all non tabular data to do so. Most of those web editors will put everything into tables and nest tables within tables which is no longer acceptable in web design and development.
There are man free resources online you can use to learn this stuff. Here are a few htmldog.com, alistapart.com, w3schools.com, webmonkey.com, oreilly.com, sitepoint.com, ilovejackdaniels.com, csszengarden.com to name a few.
I hope this was helpful if you have any other questions feel free to email me directly.

The easiest way to create a site is with a program you probably have installed and there is a lot of support for it.
Introducing Microsoft Publisher. It by no means is flashy but it will help you understand the basics to web building and can have a site built in a couple hours if you use the help files to do it. Thee are a wide variety of programs out there that will build sites, but it sounds like you need to learn the basics and publisher would be the best choice for you right now I am sure of it. Give it a shot if it isn't what you are looking for I am sorry but I feel you will grow to like it.

First you will need to purchase a Domain Name.
2nd you will need a Web Hosting Service.
Last is the Software that will allow you to creaate and maintain the site.
There are a ton of different softwares out there in the market place as well as companies that offer all that I mentioned above.
The fastest esiest and the best for a new person is.
