Do it yourself and use Yahoo Geocities.
You will need to purchase a Domain Name
You need Web Hosting
And the Software to build and Maintain the site.
Yahoo's Pagemaker Software.
http://www.geocities.com

If its for business, then it has to look professional. You therefore need to buy your own domain name and arrange hosting rather than just have your ISP host it for you for free (that reeks of amateurism).
You could do it yourself, in any Microsoft Program and save as webpage but then you have to upload. I would therefore recommend getting someone to design, update and host it for you but make sure you do not sign away all rights to it. Any good site needs metatags to make sure the search engines pick it up, that's where a lot of the do it yourselfers fall down.

If you have an idea yourself how you would like to see your site, mock it up in Publisher, PowerPoint or Word, or frontpage of course, and show it to a web design company and get a quote.

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. Then add your SEO metatags, i.e., , <description> and <keywords> accordingly prior to publication of your domain name on major search engines. 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.

My favourite is tumblr.com - very simple and very stylish (the pages look nicer than most blog sites). The drawback is it works best with a one-page website, but that's okay if all you want is to have some information about you and some photos! Otherwise, if you have a mac, some of them have a program (part of iLife suite) called iWeb, which is great for making your own webpage. 2007-12-29 00:33:56 · <a href="#answer20071229003356">answer #4</a> · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋ </div> <div id="answer20140724053243" class='answer' >  Well If you are looking for a free download of Adobe Pagemaker you can check here http://bitly.com/1k4ljOe It's a good free solution 2014-07-24 05:32:43 · <a href="#answer20140724053243">answer #5</a> · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋ </div> <div id="answer20071229032518" class='answer' >  f r e e w e b s.com [don't include the spaces, they are only so yahoo doesn't hide f r e e w e b s name](sorry) very good website builder, can be free or pay for your own domain e.g. www.mypersonalwebsite.co.uk/ easy to use for novices, good luck and i hope it helps 2007-12-29 03:25:18 · <a href="#answer20071229032518">answer #6</a> · answered by mxrider250 1 · 0⤊ 0⤋ </div> <div id="answer20071229003533" class='answer' >  check this out > googlepages.com :) 2007-12-29 00:35:33 · <a href="#answer20071229003533">answer #7</a> · answered by Generoushous 2 · 0⤊ 0⤋ </div> </div> </article> </section> <div style="background:#888;padding:8px;margin-top:16px;"> fedest.com, questions and answers </div> </body> </html>
