Question

Answer 1

To make a website you need a domain and webhosting.The best way to buy a domain for free is to purchase your domain and webhosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some webhosting companies offer this as a gift .Bluehost is the best one

Answer 2

You can learn how to make websites or use a WYSIWYG editor(What You See Is What You Get) which is software that will generate the code for you. Adobe Dreamweaver is the best but it is hard to learn how to use and expensive ($400). Coffecup is another one . It cost $50. But if you want a dynamic website Coffecup probably will not be enough.

If you want to learn how to code you can learn HTML from www.w3wchools.com or www.pagesource.com. Then learn CSS from either website. CSS is used for the design of a website. If you want users to be able to interact( forums, forms etc.) then you will need to learn ASP or PHP.  

Answer 3

Well it seems you have not used much HTML and css. So if you don't want to use them in future too then go to these websites

http://freewebs.com - good interface, easy image inserting, good website designs, has ads(not yours) and you can add your ads too.

http://googlepages.com  this ones from google. I haven't used it but others say it is good. has no ads( but you can insert yours)

If you think they are little messy then do blogging. The blogging is like running a updated website. If you are updating your website regularly then try blogging or do both.

http://wordpress.com

http://blogger.com

they both are very easy to use and they contains no ads ( you can insert yours)

If you know some HTML and CSS (learn from http://w3schols.com) then go to these websites

http://zymic.com

http://awardspace.com

they both contains no ads ( you can insert yours). Make your own designs, upload images, link your images  and go on.

Answer 4

The best thing you can do is hire someone proffesional to do it if you want the site to look welldone. It isn't something you can learn in 5 minutes. Plus, purchasing a domain and server space is going to be tricky if you have no idea where to look.

Still, if you want to try you can go to w3schools.com where you can find tutorial for all the web languages you'll need. You should start with HTML which is the basic lanuage.

Answer 5

Since you operate a business, you will need a professional looking website. You can create a free website with Microsoft Office Live Small Business - http://tinyurl.com/officelive . It has a free design tool that allows you to create web pages without coding. It has no ads and has 500mb of web space. MS is giving a free domain name for the 1st year.
