I'm Daniel Piechnick, a professional web designer.
I wrote this beginner's guide to help the large number of people who want to set up a website, but have absolutely no idea of what to do.
In Website Setup Guide, I show you exactly how to set up a proper, normal website with a .com (or .ca or .uk) domain name, from start to finish. You don't need to know anything about computers or websites, to follow this guide.
Creating a website and running it this way will cost you about $3-4 per month in total (£2 if you're in the UK). The information in this site is all free.

I will explain web hosting and creating a website to you in steps two and three. Step 4 (Extra Information) provides lots of general information related to setting up a website. Step 5 (Start Making Your site) covers all the actual instructions you need to follow, to set up your site. If you don't want to learn anything, you can just skip to step 5 if you like.
