parkerjr2 is right about learning a bit more stuff.\n\nYou might also consider godaddy which has templated sites, forums, shopping carts and so on. Not expensive either.\n\nNothing prevents you from having your site and forum on one host and the shopping cart on another (yahoo has a shopping cart service which many people use - you don't even realize it's yahoo until you check out).

There are plenty of ways of doing that.  If you are good at coding with HTML, JavaScript, Flash, etc., you can build your website from scratch using software such as Dreamweaver.\n\nHowever, if you a newbee and just want to fiddle around there are plenty of websites which allow you to set up websites with freely available tools for which you don't require programming knowledge.  Some of these websites are Geocities, Tripod, etc.

There are several languages you could use. PHP in my opinion is best. You could also try cgi/perl, python, asp, ColdFusion, and others. \n\nThere is also software that you could use to create your own website like that.  Try with the link provided here:\n\nhttp://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Link_Exchanges/

Experiment with Geocities, which comes free with your Yahoo! account; it includes SiteMaker, a basic plug-and-play Web design program.\n\nAs you expand your skills, you can try different tools.

Direct from Macromedia.\n\nhttp://www.macromedia.com/support/training/products/dreamweaver.html

How this even comes down to a dead heat is beyond me.\n\nIf you are going to code in ASP.NET 2.0, use Visual Web Developer Express. Otherwise, there's no contest: Dreamweaver is the vastly superior tool.

Hello\n\nFrom your question I guess you are intending to make a CMS(Content Management System). Making one such thing from scratch is very difficult. However, there are free CMS software available. Joomla! is a free one but it might be a bit difficult if you are a newbie :(.\n\nHope this helps :)

I would strongly recommend www.mewebhost.com\n\nI've been using them for 2 years now and they're absolutely fantastic. Uptime guaranteed to 99.9%. They're hosting plans are very valuable and price reasonable. They're great for individual sites as well as for small business websites. As far as creating your own website goes, they even give you a link to download over 300+ PRE-DESIGNED WEB TEMPLATES which are really neat, so that might be of a great help for you.\n\nCheck it out: http://www.mewebhost.com

I recently was approached by a friend of a friend to produce them a modelling website.  I said yes.\n\nWhat i didn't tell them was i had never done a web-page before!!  Well I downloaded a program called coffeecup that gives you fairly clean code (compared to Frontpage), and used its visual editor to start.  I then looked at the code it had produced to see what was going on.  After also looking up different HTML tags and how to do tables and such, it was much easier and i was now able to write HTML without using the visual editor.\n\nI then had to tackle PHP to do a few bits.  I used these websites to get what i wanted.\n\nhttp://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/51\nhttp://www.zend.com/php/index.php\nhttp://www.devtek.org/tutorials/image_gallery.php\nhttp://www.webdeveloper.com/\n\nAnyway i went from knowing nothing to producing a website, with changing images, a web based contact form and a shopping cart (short list) in about 2 weeks of on and off looking at it after work.\n\nIt is more than possible to learn to do web design in short amounts of time.  Obviously for more complex features it just takes longer, but i have found all information available on the web that i need.  Certainly no need for a 10,000 course.  Also simply look at the source for websites to see what others are doing.\n\nGet a project to work on, research the web and do it!\n\nGood luck and enjoy.\n\nFor my small triumph, visit http://www.seenmodels.com

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver, but Frontpage is as good as it comes.\nBut your choice comes of other question: What kind of website U intend to build? \nTo create simple websites, go 4 Frontpage, is one of the simplest.\nTo create professional looking web sites, with database capabilities, in a RAD environment, use Dreamweaver, even when training is a bit harder.

you will probably want to start by learning a little basic HTML.  If you go to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/, you can find a good primer.\n\nThen you probably want a WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) program.  There are several out there, some are free or very cheap.\n\nYou can then get a domain name and hosting or a free webspce proigram.  Blogs are good for this and if you are a beginner, a blog is an excellent way to introduce yourself to building websites.

Microsoft has ASP.NET (1.1 and 2.0) starter kits that has complete code for a sample website. They are quite good. Very complete and good documentation.\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/starterkit/
