If you would like, I can build one for you inexpensively, then turn into you hands to manage and learn from there. That would be the easiest way to learn. I know of a host that is very user friendly. Just email me.

When you attempt to built a website, there are two main options you can choose before anything else:

1. Do I want my own domain (e.g. http://www.MyWebsite.com)
2. Do I just want a place on the internet that is mine (like a MySpace except there are no restrictions, e.g. Freewebs, Geocities)

If you’re looking to just have some fun or learning in doing so, I’d recommend the second option, which opens up many more options to make the website more user friendly. Most big hosts of #2 kinds offer detailed templates and infinite help pages to personalise, without ever needing to even learn HTML/CSS/JavaScript code. This option is also (generally) free.

If you’re a bit more serious or picky with how you are hosted (found with an address and the quality of your servers) – then you’ll be looking to spend somewhere between $50 and $200 per year – Geocities has a paying option and I personally use GoDaddy.com. With these however, you will generally not get as much help, though I think if you try and use freewebs to make a paid account, they may help you with templates still.

I think the easiest way to build, regardless of which method, would be to use a WYSIWYG (What is you see is what you get) program – like DreamWeaver. Dreamweaver will allow you to draw your page with textboxes, pictures, position etc. (similar to MS Front Page or Publisher) and has many user-friendly tools that help you publish and edit every minor detail.

If you’re in it for the long haul though, I’d suggest that the time spent learning HTML and CSS code will be invaluable. The personal satisfaction gained from looking at a webpage built in notepad is phenominal – though I wouldn’t recommend it at first.

As for Microsoft Office software solutions – I wouldn’t recommend them at all. They seem to be good at first, but when you begin to use them you’ll probably find like myself and countless friends that they’re very non-user-friendly for anything beyond the most simple of webpages.

If you want to see my website, go to:

Please ignore a few bugs at the moment I’m sorting through.

Building a website is not difficult these days. But I would suggest to go with open source cms like wordpress, joomla and others. You can easily modify a template using php and can change the content, make users through cms interface.

The easiest way is through microsoft publisher. It will look like sh*t though.

To bulid a website there are 3things to take care mostly. One is your domain, Second is Design, Third is hosting of our site. You can get all these things at a single place that is Godaddy where you can buy all these things and they even provide sample templates and lot, all the best

Making site with desktop software is a hardwork. You should use content management service [cms] such as joomla or make a blog on blogger.com

if you still want to use desktop aplication microsoft publisher will do that.

You can use Microsoft Front Page yes, but sadly MS FP has been out of the market for a while and has been replaced with another Microsoft product. A great website we used in College to learn about web site building was W3schools located at this link "http://www.w3schools.com/"
