Do you know HTML? Do you know CSS?

If not, do you have access to a WYSIWYG editor, such as Frontpage, Nvu, Dreamweaver?

This is really a hugely vague question. Well, not vague, but so vast; it's like asking how to build a house.

There is such an abundance of advice needed to answer such a question, I'd recommend getting a free tempate somewhere and opening up your favorite text editing program and just start hacking away at it.

Or visit w3schools (google it) for more advice, although they'll only give you specifics on languages/code, not so much on "how to build a web site".

I understand you want to know how to make a web site, and what I'm telling you is that things like this just cannot be told in a web forum. While we can make suggestions and recommendations, "making a web site" takes years to learn.
I'm telling you, grab code from a template or another web site and start messing with it, it'll be far more educational than simply asking us and waiting to press the copy > paste command.
If you still want to sit around and wait for someone to tell you how to make a web site, that's cool too...

I have to agree with herkalees. It's like where do you want us to start?

HTML: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Title Here</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

If you do not recognize the above commands, I recommend you start with a WYSIWYG editor. This will at least help you create your site by writing the HTML code for you. And then in the body tag, this is where you put your text. You can use tables to help layout your website if you do not know CSS.
You say you know a little HTML - what is a little? Do you know CSS? Can you use both of these together?
If you could ask more exact questions maybe like how do you insert an image

HTML: Select all

<img src="images/yourimage.gif" alt="Alt text">

that would help us know your level of expertise / experience. But we do not know what exact problems you are facing.
