You don't really need any special programs. Easiest way to start a free website is with Microsoft Office Live Small Business - http://tinyurl.com/olsbfree .

Try Blink Web or Weebly, their easy to manage free website (or blog) has cool features that include drag and drop capability, switch designs on the fly, youtube and google video, custom html, upload images, flikr photo gallery, visitor stats and more.  You can also buy a new domain instantly, or host your existing domain for free and make it your own (www.yourown.com)

If your looking for something more advanced but still user friendly then try Easy Site Build or Sitebuilder Designs, they have everything you need in building your own website: domain name registration or domain transfer, web hosting, web builder, site maintenance and email accounts. Everything is laid out in an easy to follow step by step instruction. Some of the features included enable you to add your own themes, videos, images or mp3 music making your site unique to you. Pricing is comparable and affordable too.

I hope that I was of some help and answered your question.

Answer 10

I'd markup the front-end with HTML, but definitely link to a .css style sheet for advanced customization.  You'll want to store your javascript file (for client-side validations) in a different directory.  Be sure to attach a normalized database on the back-end (SQLServer 2005 or Oracle).  You can connect to this database through an object-oriented programming language such as C# or ASP.NET.

Finally, test in IE4,5,6,7,Firefox,Netscape,Opera, and Lynx.

Good luck!
