Welcome to the forums.
Start by changing the nameservers of your domain to match your hosting account. Then learn HTML

Yep, just post what you need and a basic overview of the site in the design/developer forum.
The designer will handle the rest

Re: Help!! I'm new at this!!
As for name servers, log into your godaddy account and choose the option to 'set nameservers', then you simply punch in the details that your hosting company gives you.
for instance, two name servers I use are: ns3.dnsdc.com ns4.dnsdc.com Your hosting company provides you with these, and you setup your domain to point to to these 'addresses'. 4 hours later, when someone types in www.yourdomainname.com, it magically works. Hooray internet.
