In all honesty, if you have no experience and you are planning on using it for commercial reasons then you'll be far better of paying somebody to do it for you. A simple website won't cost much to sort out and you'll be guaranteed it will look like it's been done by a professional rather than a 12 year old and a professional looking site will attract more business than a amateur looking one.
I'm not overly concerned about the front end. I might not be the most techno-savvy but I do have very clear ideas about how I want it to look and have no particular concern about that aspect. Although it is for commercial purposes it will be used primarily as a contact page, with limited details about me and what I do.
My concerns is more to do with the back end stuff. Oh and how do you manipulate the metadata to get your key words recognised by Google to bump you up the page!
Hi, I answered before but answer got removed as I think I made the mistake of putting my email address in it. I can sort a domain and website with hosting for you, it won't be expensive. I hope I'm not breaking any answerbank rules, but if you do want to contact me, you can do it at

Well if your site is going to consist of a single page, you can forget that altogether, unless what you are selling is so distinctive that your keywords are unique, and your potential customers are guaranteed to be searching for them.
My website will be a minimum of three pages and may stretch to 5-6 pages. I want to keep the information to the bare bones whilst giving enough for it to appear as a search result and to give assurance to my current clients that I am discreet and professional. It is such a fine line trying to decide how much info is 'enough'!!!
My profession isn't unique but it is a niche role. Unfortunately if you run a search you are at risk of finding a lot of senior school teachers rather than my more specialised career.
