There are a few ways to build a website.

You could buy Dreamweaver or Frontpage, and you could learn HTML from scratch, or you could purchase a website template from, say, templatemonster.com.

But this will be a quick tutorial on how to put together a simple HTML site using only free tools, and will give you a good-looking site and a general rundown of the basics.

First, download and install Kompozer. This is a free HTML editor that will enable you to edit websites without having to know HTML.

Next, go to OpenWebDesign.org and browse the designs for a website you like. Download it to your desktop and unzip it.

Inside the unzipped folder you will find a file called index.html. Right click it and select Open With > Kompozer. Or, just start up Kompozer and open the index.html file from within using File > Open.

Now, you can begin editing the web page how you like, just like a Word document replacing the place holder text, and renaming the navigation menu links. Double click the menu links to rename the link. All you have to do is give it an easy-to-remember name such as page2.html. Remember the names you gave them. These will soon be the sub, or secondary, pages of your site.

Now, make several copies of your index.html file by simply copying and pasting them into the same folder. Rename each of them to the names you gave your menu links. In my case it would be page2.html.

Now you can open each of your sub pages with Kompozer, and edit them just like you did the home page.

You should now have a basic working website, with links that point to your secondary pages, with index.html as your homepage.

Now, there should be a folder called images or something similar. Every designer is different, but there should be a place where all the images are stored. If you go in there and find one called "header" or something similar you will be able to replace it with your own. If you have a good photo editing program, such as the free GIMP, then just open the he

Now all you need to do is find a host, and upload all these files into your public_html folder on your host using FTP. See how to upload a website.
