To build a website, there are four methods to choose from:
First method:
Get a professional designer to build the site for you:
It is expensive in creation process, site maintenance and development.
Second method:
Designing the site with free website hosting:
In this case, just sign in the website that offers this service, and start building your own website.
Free Hosting Sites:
· http://geocities.yahoo.com/
· http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/
· http://www.tripod.lycos.com/
· http://www.freeservers.com
Disadvantages of this method (Free Web Hosting):
· Small size-Limited web page space
· Can't create interactive features (message boards, online ordering, etc.)
· Advertisements-May have banners and/or pop ads on your homepage
· Long and hard to remember web address (instead of yourdomain.com)
· No branded email addresses (you@yourdomain.com)
· Weak technical support-Poor help and support options
· May not be free forever
· No seriousness to the site
So it is better to choose a cheap Hosting sites with reasonable prices, you will get a better quality and a higher credibility.
Third method:
Professional Web Hosting:
Design the site by a web page designer program (computer software) and use one of the hosting sites.
Web Page designer programs:
There is a lot of computer software available to help you build and manage your website, you may use one or more of them:
· Microsoft FrontPage
· Macromedia Dreamweaver/Fireworks Studio
· Adobe GoLive/Adobe ImageStyler

FrontPage program is the famous and most important one.
