If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.\n\nIf you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.\n\nIf you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...\n\nIf you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.\n\nWeb hosting site (FREE):\nhttp://www.atspace.com\nWeb hosting site (COST):\nhttp://www.readyhosting.com\nFTP Explorer site:\nhttp://www.ftpx.com\n\nA couple of my websites:\nPioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)\nhttp://www.pioneerbaseball.org\nMy Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace\nFamily Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com

look for a hosting website, like geocities, lycos etc, or buy a domain name, and start formatting html and putting whatever you want up! there are also companies who can do it for you.\n\nif you start with geocities, you get a webpage free, but its limited and theres ads and things.

If you're looking for a totally free site, check out yahoo, geocities, angelfire, or my space. If you are looking for something a little more polished, there are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-8389304-7234204?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/:\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~

The best is to learn it yourself, and my site will help guide you in that direction.  I do not recommend hosting on a free server as these are not spidered or listed in the major search engines.  For full site design try http://www.freelancers.com for inexpensive programmers.  Hope this helps.

use HTML or CSS. If you want to make a website effortless, download Dreamweaver from Macromedia.com \nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/\nI suggest taking the tour first.\nor get Yahoo! Site builder which is very easy to do. heres the link \nhttp://webhosting.sbc.yahoo.com/ps/sb/index.php"\nYahoo! Site Builder\nIf you have any questions about html or css, go to this site\nhttp://www.msfrug.com/pages/resources.htm\nMs.Frug.com. This site can help you. Just click on the links.\nAfter your done designing your page post on the internet using Yahoo! Small Business or using other web-hosting sites.

anyone can create a website. Depending on how much time you have to devote to the website, will depend on how ascetically pleasing to the eye the web site is. \nUnless you are using a program such as front page, you will have to have a knowledge of at least HTML, if you don't have this knowledge, there are several good websites available to help you.  One such website is http://www.htmlgoodies.com.   You can start there with the html tutorials and proceed from there. \nAs far as hosting the web site, personal opinion would be to develop the site, before pricing the hosting plan.  Depending on how long it actually takes you to create the site and then what design elements you have chosen to incorporate will make choosing the hosting plan easier. Please let us know how it goes.

Try Microsoft Live Office. You can build a website for free for a limited time, but if you move up to the $30 month it's much better. Start with free & see how it goes. I'm currently building a website there & while it's a bit of a struggle I'm sticking with it.

The options for setting up a website are as varied as the options for choosing a car. Choose what you think your needs are from the left-hand column and follow the instructions in that row. \n\nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI'm a student and need to be able to put my class projects on a website. \n\nI just want to set up a personal site with a few photos and some generic information. \n\nI'm campaigning for public office and don't want to spend any money on the Internet, but someone told me I need a website. \n\nThere's no way I'm going to spend anything on building a website, but I'm sure I need one.  Free websites are available everywhere. You'll need to spend at least half an hour to set up what you want, but you don't need any special skills. Your only investment is time.  Go to Geocities or Angelfire and follow their very simple step-by-step instructions for setting up a website. If you can follow directions, you can put up a website with one of these services. There are plenty of others available, but these two are the best-known. \n\nWhen you're done, be sure to add the address of your website to the signature line on your e-mail. If you have business stationery or other printed literature, put it there as well. It's just about the only way anyone will find your site. \n\nIf you know anyone with a website, ask them nicely if they would mind giving you a link. Unless some other site links to yours, the search engines will never find it. \n\nExpect to grow annoyed with the ads on your site. Free web hosts use pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and banners built-in to your pages in order to pay for their services. If you're not bothered, don't worry about them. Most users eventually grow tired of them.  Don't expect a lot of visitors. Your address will be long and hard to remember, so unless someone is really intent on finding your site, not many folks will visit. \n\nDon't expect to be taken very seriously. If you aren't willing to put any money into your site, don't expect visitors to think you're an authority. \n\nDon't get caught up in design. There's not much you can do to make your free site look great. Just put the basic information up and see whether it does the trick for you. Crazy backgrounds, wild color schemes, lots of pictures, and sounds that play whenever people visit your site will only serve to irritate. Keep it simple. \n\nDon't forget to add content. Since your page probably doesn't look very special, be sure to add things to it often enough that it serves a real purpose. \n\nDon't put your e-mail address on the page. Anywhere. If you do, you'll get so much spam you'll never forgive yourself.  \nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI have a lot to say, and I want to blog.  As little as nothing. Some fees may apply, especially as you become more sophisticated. Expect it to become a regular consumer of your time.  Go to Blogger or TypePad or LiveJournal and follow their instructions. \n\nHave something interesting to say, and often. Keep your site fresh. Political campaigns and businesses are starting to realize the power of fresh information posted to people who actively want to follow what's happening directly from the source. \n\nYou may eventually decide to go solo and run your personal site without someone else's software or hosting. When that time comes, use PairNIC to register your domain and Pair Networks to host your site. Their prices are excellent and so is their service.  Don't expect it to be easy. Well-done blogs often absorb lots of their authors' time. \n\nDon't post so often that you create unreasonable expectations. Sandbag a little until you're comfortable with the amount of time you dedicate to your blog. \n\nDon't divulge personal secrets, proprietary information, or national secrets. Serio

Good luck!  Those are tough programs to learn.\n\nIf you get stumped with Dreamweaver, try this program...EZLAVA Web Site Builder.  It's a powerful alternative.

There is an absolutely wonderful html editor that is 100 percent free and in my opinion is on a par with Dreamweaver.  In some ways I find it better than dreamweaver and in others Dreamweaver is better.  The program is 1stPage 2000 and you can download it at http://www.evrsoft.com/ \n\nIt has 4 levels of user interface to help teach you the program and html programming too if you are so inclined. Fully supports ALL other programming formats, CSS, PHP, ASP, XML, etc, etc.\n\nTheir new version is out now too, although it is not free.

To make a simple website is very easy. First go to www.freewebs.com and sign up for an account. From there on there are easy to use features that guide you throught the process. \n\nTo make a more advanced webpage will require money and may require experience with HTML, which is basicly internet language. \n\nIf you need any more help with creating a website, dont hesitate to contact me Via email. :)

You have two options.\n\n   1.  You can take the sissy route and goto http://www.geocities.com and drop and drag your website.\n\n   2. You can take the worthwhile route and learn HTML. Just google "html tutorial" and they'll tell you how to do everything. All you need is Notepad and a Browser. Of course, other things will come in handy. To make a website look spectacular, you'll probably need to make your own graphics and borders and stuff. Technically you could take 'em off http://www.flamingtext.com, but I find that drawing my own stuff with The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) gives me a better sense of accomplishment.\n\nSince you're making "your own" website, you probably want to go the second route.\n\nOnce you've made your website, however, you'll need to stick it online somewhere. There are places that will do this for you called "Web Hosting Services". The better of these charge you a fee to use them, but there are some that offer free alternatives. Usually, the free alternatives involve placing an ugly ad at the top of your page and polluting it with annoying pop-ups, but, if you look carefully, there are some free ones that are just great.\n\nSo, good luck!
