If you get a bit time, can you see if you can make me a website?
This was how I was greeted by a friend this evening. Stipulation was it had to be cheap. (I think he means free).
I know there are web building sites available, but I really have no idea where to start. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know if it will make a difference, but it would be for a business.
Thanks!
*edit*
Some good and knowlegeable answers, but may I add that the website would be offering a service (similar to what can be found in yellow pages) and, ideally, this site would show after a search using specific details.
eg. (hypothetically) sewing machines and tv sets
Sorry! Should have added repairs to.

ha ha ... i hope you at least get a dinner or something out of it. You're a good friend.
You can get a free website on wordpress and build one there. The site will be
http://[something].wordpress.com
Otherwise he can pay for a domain for $10 a year. Hosting is $5 to $10 a month and most hosting companies have some good web building tools (including wordpress). Wordpress is really easy to build a good looking company site. I would look into that.
Good luck!

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
To get further information take a look at:

You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
Take a look at:
http://www.threehosts.com/business
There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the E-commerce web hosting industry. They fulfill all your requirements to sell online or do/accept any online payments. By using each of them, everything you need for such a website is provided in one business Hosting Package.
Hope this helps.

Go here http://webhost7.co.cc/ & get a free hosting account. Then go here http://stuffilike.co.cc/ & it will explain everything you need to do.
Both websites are owned by me so if you need any help message me. I don't make a penny from either, I just use the hosting site for my own & friends websites.
