Why not ask the students what they would like to see in your website. Get some student friends to conduct a survey. Revenue could come from advertising. Or may be a local business sponsor would help. Is your student union not able or willing to help?

well, http://www.freewebs.com is a goodplace to start. There you can start a website for free and the username that you make there will be what you type in to get to your website. After that go to www.dot.tk or www.shorturl.com to make a website end thing. like .com or .com.au

Design a site where you're interested in the topic. Define the purpose of the site, fun, personal, business, making money etc, and create it accordingly. Everyone could suggest building a website around x topic, but that's no good, you have to decide. What are your interests, what do you like? If you're doing this for experience, create a page such as one about your favourite sports team or player etc...  (if you even like sport!)

go to www.geocities.com and create your own webpage. Also try www.angelfire.com

Depends on your audience - think about who's going to look at your website?\n\nIf it's chat friends, then stuff that they might want to know - about you, your life, photos, links to games that you're interested in, etc.\n\nIf it's 'real-world' friends, then you might want to put comments about nights out you've had recently, pics of your kids, links to places you've been out, etc.\n\nYou could also have your own blog. This would let you post something every day - e.g. your thoughts for the day, what you were listening too, anything you've been up to, etc.

If your interested in the design-side etc., try a design package like Macromedia Dreamweaver, once you've learnt basic HTML - http://www.w3schools.com. These packages are "what you see is what you get", commonly no raw code involved for you, if you wish.\n\nIf you're not interested in designs, there are plenty of options like Web logs  - http://www.blogger.com, Yahoo! Geocities etc. etc.\n\nIf you make your own site, you'll need to host it. If you're not bothered about a proper "domain" address, try http://www.freewebs.com. If you want the real-deal, try using http://www.dzinersolutions.co.uk - from my personal experience, they have some quality deals (I recommend the Unix Zone Starter deal).

Creating a website takes a few steps:\n\n1) You're going to have to find a place that will host your website. (I suggest www.godaddy.com because it's what I use.)\n\n2) You're going to have to find a unique name that no one has. (e.g. www.superwebsitenamethatscool.com)\n\n3) You're going to have to purchase this name and pay for it on a yearly basis. (I pay about $12 a year for mine)\n\n4) You're going to have to purchase an FTP Server that will hold all your images and webpages. (Godaddy will sell you one for about $4 a month)\n\n5) You're going to have to build your own website using HTML code or something like Frontpage or Dreamweaver.\n\n6) Once you build your site you upload it to your FTP Server and tell godaddy where it is and you're done!\n\nIt's really really simple. Hope that helps!\n\n~Mark Lim\n\nhttp://www.poisonappleshirts.com

Learn HTML and do it yourself. Much more original than using someone else's worn out templates. My site is completely unique as it is my creation.

You have a very original idea, so that is good.\n\nSuggest the website to as many other websites as possible.\n\nMake sure it is listed on all the major search engines.\n\nYou could advertise with the likes of google adwords if you have a small budget.\n\nAnd the main thing is to give it time.  You have to work at everything - your site will not become an overnight success.

you can buy your own website. I could sell you one, it will be all set up and ready to use.

Geocities is a good option to start with. Its simple to sign up and manage your files. If you have Frontpage express, you don't even need basic HTML knowledge. That's what I did to make my site.\n\nGeocities page...\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com\n\nYou can have Frontpage from here...\n\nhttp://www.np.edu.sg/~bms/help/frontpage_exp_zipped.exe\n\nIn frontpage, you just need to type, or add pictures, backgrounds etc with just a click of a button. The HTML automatically builds up in the background. If you want, you can edit it too. Then you need to upload all files you have used for your Web pages, and also upload the HTML files to you File Manager. And your site is ready !\n\nGeocities allows only 15 MB per ID (you actually have to sign in with your Yahoo ID there). You migh say that 15 MB is less. But there's a solution. You can have your main Index page of your site on your main ID and make some more Yahoo IDs and for linking music files, videos etc (because they normally take up more space). But Geocities still has one more problem that the maximum size of a file you can upload is 5 MB.\n\nIf you have big files to upload, Megaupload is a good option for you. You can send files of a size of up to 250 MB to anybody (For FREE). When the file is uploaded, it gives you a link, which you can note down and put up on your site for the big files !\n\nIf you don't want Geocities, here are some more options you might want to try...\n\nhttp://www.bravenet.com\nhttp://www.angelfire.com\nhttp://www.homestead.com\nhttp://www.50megs.com\nhttp://www.250x.com (It offers a space of 250 MB)\n\nYou might also want to check out my site, which I have made without the use of ANY HTML knowledge. Its simple and what's more, I didn't have to pay anything to make it.\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/sudeepjaiswal_2001

Wouldn't you rather create something for yourself rather than just do data entry for someone else?\n\nUSE the Internet.\n\nThe Internet is a second home. It's the easiest, most flexible, and most convenient tool for finding information now. \n\nThink about your favorites or bookmarks. You probably have a huge list of sites (sorted, if you're lucky, into folders!) about gardening, news, holidays, recipes, shopping, Christmas, family health, games, tips, TV, finance or whatever else catches your fancy. \n\nAnd the reason you bookmarked those sites? They gave you useful information. \n\nNow think about all those other people out there on the Web. Who are they? \n\nMoms, dads... single parents, grannies... sporty types, couch potatoes... teachers, homeschoolers, music freaks, would-be chefs. They all seek the same thing. And that is, of course, quality, relevant information for their kids, gardens, home projects, hobbies, and the list goes on and on. \n\nSurfers love Web sites that reflect the owner's passion about a specific topic (i.e., painting, dogs, travel, scrapbooking, etc.) They are excited to find articles, advice, and ideas that respond to their needs or fuel their dreams. And when they discover a site that appeals to them, they will return frequently. \n\nYou too can do this too. \n\nWhat is your passion? What information, based on your experiences (life, education, employment), could you share? How could you help someone else? \n\nEverybody knows something about something. Identify it and then write about it! There are thousands and thousands of people who want to read about it - and spend money on it - now. \n\nMy site was created just like this. I love to help others and I know a lot about resumes, so I created a site about that. A link to it is below. I make money on my site and so far, I don't sell a thing. That will come as my site continues to grow.\n\nBelieve me, if a 40 year old mother of two children can do it, you can, too. \n\nIt's an honest business because I created it myself. I will not do anything to "rip off" anyone else. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did that. \n\nThe first link is to my site. The second link is to the site that I created my web site with. \n\nNot that it matters, but I live in the Dallas area. When we moved here from OKC a few months ago, this was the perfect business because it goes where I go.

This is one of those "easy on paper, yet difficult when running" type of questions.\n\nFirst off, you need to decide what type of site you want. Second, you build the site around the theme and finally, you market it. Sounds easy, right?\n\nWell, now comes the difficult part. What can you do? What can you offer that will be different from everyone else? Maybe you have content that no one else does. Maybe you want to put up a blog and write about your experiences and make money off ads. Maybe you want to write an eBook and make a website to sell it. Or maybe you want to promote something and you want to sound official.\n\nThe secret is... whatever you do, don't make it sound like an advertisement, because the minute you do, you are going to sound out of place.\n\nI'm releasing a book on Podcasting in the near future. ;) That's one way I'm making money. \n\nGood luck!

There are a number of services you can use depending on what you want to do.  You can try "360" which gives you a blog interface with cross refernce to all your friends and their pages, very cool -- or you can try geocities which is the more triditional web pages / home pages, where you create the entire page yourself.\n\nYou can ofcause have both and provide a cross reference between the two.
