Answer 4

The easiest way for a novice to build a web site is to start with a web template. Web Templates can be customized and you can use the layout but swap the graphics etc.... this will get you comfortable with basic HTML design and an HTML editor (like Dreamweaver). They are also far less expensive than starting from scratch.

Here are some resources for free or inexpensive templates that are easy to edit and manage.

Webmaster Templates - http://www.webmaster-templates.net

Free Web Templates - http://www.freewebtemplates.com/

Web Design Elements - http://www.webdesign-elements.com

Free Website Templates - http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/

Free Layouts - http://www.freelayouts.com/

Free Templates Online - http://www.freetemplatesonline.com

HTML website templates can significantly ease the burden of designing and creating websites by providing webmasters with a ready-made web layout, structure, basic graphics, and color scheme.

The templates can generally be edited and customized with any HTML editor. The biggest advantage for webmasters using ready-made templates is the amount of time that can be saved.

Answer 6

Well i have spent countless hours looking for hosting and also design services. I have spent a fair amount of money on web hosts like dreamhost and hostgator and to be honest they all lie and are terrible hosts. I do not like hosts that oversell because they are feeding you lies. I looked and looked and stumbled upon Phynom Technologies. IMHO the best, fastest, most reliable and they have a plan under 5 bucks. Good Luck my friend. Here is a link to their site: http://www.phynom.com/vss.html

Answer 8

If you're from the UK I recommend http://www.hosttell.com/one They are one of the leading European hosting companies (hosting over 500 000 websites), and they currently have a promotion in the UK. They are offering free hosting and a domain (I think you have to pay about €10 setup fee and that's it). This way you get hosting and a domain for a price of a domain. Every plan includes Photo Gallery, WebEditor (so you can build a website without knowledge of HTML), Google Adwords coupon (so you can advertise your website on google for free) and a lot more. Check them out.

Answer 9

One.com are currently offering 1 years hosting and a Domain name for FREE.
