You can create a free website with Microsoft Office Live Small Business - http://tinyurl.com/officelive . It has 500mb of storage and no ads. It also has a free online web design tool that allows you to create web pages without coding. Currently, MS is offering a free domain name for the first year.

Answer 5

Well if it has to be free, you would want to make your pick between one of the many free hosts.

http://members.freewebs.com/ - freewebs

http://geocities.yahoo.com/ - geocities

http://www.weebly.com/ - weebly

http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ - Tripod

A lot of these hosts also got their own free templates, as well as their own WYSIWYG editor, the templates may help when aiming to get valid coded pages.

If you want your own domain name, i recommend you go with one of the many shared hosting solutions, these will be sufficient in most cases. You can find many such hosts at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ as well as read what other people has to say about them.

The process of making the site can be simplified by WYSIWYG editors such as dreamweaver. But it would be recommended to learn hand-coding as well, since such editors, or incorrect usage of same, is known to produce invalid code, and bad cross-browser combatility.

You can learn how to hand-code your pages at websites such as http://www.w3schools.com/ and http://www.brugbart.com/

Its recommended to atleast learn HTML combined with CSS, and then forget about all the deprecated attributes and elements used for presentation.

Its also important to validate your code, for this you can use the w3c markup validator at: http://validator.w3.org/ - The W3C Markup Validation Service

Along with the CSS validator at: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ - CSS Validator
