I'm not in this to sell a service. I certainly would hope that
submitting a ticket is free of charge, however.

Regardless,
So, you have a few choices.
Firstly, in order to build a website you need to start with a domain
name and web hosting. The domain name is what the web address is, so
like nancy.com (probably stolen already), but it makes a great example.
The web host is you paying a company for server space, which covers
hardware, bandwidth (how much data you can transfer per month) and
storage sspace.
I run 3 different sites on Dreamhost for different organizations and I
highly recommend it. Their address is:
http://dreamhost.com
You get web service for $7.95 a month if ai remember correctly. Not
totally sure since I run my own server and don't handle the payment
end for those organizations.

As for building the site, you have a few options.
You could use something like drupal, which is known as a content
management system (CMS). I am bias as I work for Acquia who are a huge
force behind making Drupal happen, but I've also tried other stuff and
love it.

Basically a content management system allows you to create a site and
customize it the way you want. there are many many books on drupal 7,
and if you're the type that likes to google and find information
you'll be all the better. If you shouldn't like Drupal for some
reason, your next option is Wordpress. it's not as clean in my opinion
and it's really hard to make it not look like a blog, but people still
like it.

Your final option is to learn HTML. You can google for html tutorials
(make sure you learn html5 as that's what is currently new and being
used, no sense in learning old technology). After you learn that,
you'll probably want to learn CSS, which is used to make your site
look pretty. Depending on how in-depth you want to go, you could just
use something like bootstrap (just google bootstrap css) which has
already been built by people with eyeballs and tested on a ton of
different browsers.

It really depends on what you want to do with your site to how you
actually build it. If you have any more questions, feel free to give
me a yell--I don't know if I'm supposed to be talking about web design
on this list as it's mostly for mac accessibility stuff. My email is
ty...@tysdomain.com.

Thanks and good luck!
