To make a website just follow this guide I made:
First, if you don't really want to write <html> and you just want to make a site fast with free hosting try these sites:
1#Webs-- webs.com/ | Formally FreeWebs
Simply sign up, chose a domain(www.yoursitename.webs.com), choose a templet, then ad content, and upload, as easy as that! The hosting is free, but you can upgrade to get more features.
2#Weebly-- weebly.com/
Create a free website or blog in minutes by using a simple drag and drop interface. No ads. One of Time's 50 best websites of the year.
2#Blogger-- blogger.com/start
Great to start a blog, powered by google!
If you are willing to spend time learning <html>(but want some help making it with a program) then check out these links:
1#KompoZer-- http://www.kompozer.net/
WYSIWYG HTML and CSS editor derived from Nvu. Binary downloads for Windows, Mac, and several variants of Linux. [Open Source]
By the way KompoZer is NVU's Unofficial bug-fix because NVU was forgotten, it has so many bugs and crash so much they just gave-up. So don't use NVU.
<--------------------------------Some Q and A-------------------------------->
Q:
What is a WYSIWYG <html> editor?
A:
Well stands for What You See Is What You Get it makes the code for you, if you place a image here on the screen it will make the code to do that, there are limitation thought but it's still good.
Every Site need a domain(example www.yoursite.com , or www.somesite.net , etc)
<--------------------------------Some Q and A-------------------------------->
Q:
What is a Domain?
A:
A Domain is the URL of you site ie, www.yoursite.com or www.yoursite.co.cc.
Also most hosting company's will give you a sub-domain, ie, www.yoursite.110mb.com or www.yoursite.webs.com
If you want a free domain try a .co.cc domain:
co.cc-- https://www.co.cc/
co.cc is a free domain, (example, www.yoursite.co.cc).
If you want a top level domain like .com, .net, .org etc. domain then you have to pay for those.
If you would like to buy a top level domain then check out
GoDaddy.com:
godaddy.com
To have your site on the web you need a server to host it, server space can cost from nothing at all to $500+ for dedicated servers.
Q: What is Web Hosting?
A: It's a server that's up all the time to keep your site up on the web
Q: What's Disk Space?
A: Disk space is the amount of data the hosting company let's you have on there server, go over and they will not let you put more data on there server.
Q: What's Bandwidth?
A: Bandwidth is the number of data your hosting company allows you to transfer monthly, If you go over your bandwidth thought most hosting company's will charge you for what you go over, but some do not.
Can you suggest an good Free Hosting Company?
110MB-- http://www.110mb.com/

The best way to do exactly what you want is to hire a professional company to host and design your site for you. If you go with godaddy or googlesites or some of the more popular hosting and design sites, you'll get template that look exactly like everyone else's. My advice is to go through Heritage Web Solutions. They are a really great design and hosting company. Their packages start at $199 and you can do anything you want with it. They are a complete custom web design company and they can put anything from pictures, to video, to music etc... Anything you want. I really like them. Hope this helps.

Make a blog. You can use blogger or wordpress. Those blogs are free if you host it on their site, or you can download wordpress and put it onto a webhost. You would also need a domain name if you go that route, but sometimes you are able to get a free domain name if you sign up for a webhost. I know hostmonster has offered free domain names before.

If you pay someone to make one, yes.
Not really if you make one yourself, unless you get a domain.
Can do the free option: freewebs.com, etc.
