Okay, honestly, I never make a website myself before, and I am willing to try it pretty soon. As soon as I got some new idea coming around, I will start this project ASAP. From the traditional HTML code, to the using of Front page, what other methods do you use to create a website of your own? I meant that tools you use, or the softwares gonna be absolutely free of charge. I also want to know the process of making of your own website. Can anyone here give me a good advice on that? Sincerely thanks!

Create website is simple, but to make own template is more difficult. If you are good enough in using frontpage, then it shallnt have any problem on make your own website. However, get a free template (just googling and you can find a lot of them ) then make changing on it according to your own preference will save a lot of them.

So, what actually is template? I meant, after you have the frame of your website, with all the basic information you have up there, what else do you need? Is the template is something that help to polish your website to catch the eyes of people who browse your website?

template is the "frame" you mentioned. It is fine if you want to set it your own. However, you can find some "frame" with more professional design which can helps to attract visitor to stay

Ok, but with those professional frame, they gonna charge one time fee to have it as your own, or you have to keep on paying them the purchase fee or they gonna maintain for you?

If you have enough command over the HTML and CSS then you can easily build your websites. The only problem you will face is to design the header, footer, left navigation, right navigation and the main content of your websites. So first deside about the design. When you will finished with your design then I can say you have finished 70% job.
Avoid using the tables for whole website because from SEO point of view it is not efficient and effective way.
So, my suggestion is to use the css and HTML.

Well, the HTML might consume a lot of time to make the website, because you must familiar with all the codes. Otherwise, You just have to look through page and page of HTML code in attempt to make it nice, and charming for your website. I would definitely try to design the website with my own imagination, or a piece of drawing. Anyway, thanks for your advise.

If you still are new, i sugget you use a free hosting site like lycos or 000webhost. When i make web site i usually use editplus and for design i usully use photshop and then slice the picture. I never do the design thought because usually my friend do it. I usually focus on php and javascript. It is more easier if you have friend to make your site because some programmer sometime cannot make a nice design, and some designer not really understand about programming.But it is for complicated web site thouhgt.
If you want to make a cms site, i suggest you to using cms like wordpress or blogspot. It is very easy and not need any html / php knowledge
thanks

To create a website you have to decide
1. What type of website you want, it may be a blog or may be a website
2. A domain name (www.anyname.net, www.anyname.com etc)
3. A Web host
After deciding you can buy or go for any free web hosts. Maximum web hosts will help you creating your website of your need. You can find many free templates as the mylot friend has mentioned above. If you know Frontpage, Dreamweaver, HTML, DHTML or learn them from tons of tutorials online you can easily build a very good website.
