Choosing a Website Building Tool
If you want complete control over your website you'll need to learn HTML code. You can design a simple web site with just a few basic tags.
You can also use a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get) to build your website. This method will not require you to learn any code.
You won't need to have any programming skills to do it this way, but you will have to settle for someone else's design.
Which ever course you take, you should still take some time to do a little research and planning before your start. The sure road to failure is just to sit down and start cranking out those web pages.
If you want to learn to code, an HTML editor is what you'll need.
If you don't want to learn coding you can try a WYSIWYG editor.
There are also online website builders.
Most online website builders are included in a package purchased from a web host that supplies site building tool, email accounts, file management tools, space on a server for hosting and other web site resources.
These packages range in price from about $1 a month and upward. Here's a list of a few that you can Try for FREE!!

A Word About CMS
If you are planning a website that will require membership, you may want to consider a Content Management System.
A CMS like Joomla! requires Very Minor Coding Experience and can be easily installed on your web space using a script installer provided by your web host. Joomla! is also well documented with downloadable manuals and visual tutorials.
CMS offers built in features like membership registration, site search, user feedback, polls and other interactive tools.
