want to build a website..Where do i begin?

As title really. I would like to build a website. Where do I get free hosting? what programs to use etc ?

I am a full virgin when it comes to this. So any help would be brilliant. It is mainly for friends and family to see as well as other people. Nothing private on it. Just want a few pages on the net with info/ photos etc.

I have my broadband with Orange. Just no idea about what are good free hosting etc ?

Like I said, I have no idea about any of this so please let me know what is my best route.

thanks

Thanks. I shall have a look at Dreamweaver or frontpage, Think I have Frontpage on a Microsoft office disc somewhere.

As for Domains. How do I go about looking for what I want. What websites sell them and tell me if there available ?

just went on godaddy and it has my name.co.uk available for 2 years £11.54 and something called certified domain - 2 years £3.45 total : £14.99

Now

A) If i buy it on there is it a proper web site and is that web address mine then for 2 years www."myname".co.uk ?

B) I am then under the impression that if you type "myname".co.uk into the search bar of internet explorer my web site will then come up?

C) I somehow build or get someone to build me a website. Then how do I put it onto "myname".co.uk


This is all very confusing.

Thanks
