You don't need to know how to code anything. Get a template or use an engine like word press and take one of the thousands of themes available to have a decent site at no price. It's insanely simple to set up an amazing word press site at no cost but the domain and hosting, which as I said is 6 pennies a day.
Thats interesting to know,but if that's the case then really whats the difference between a free web site maker and something like that if the site allows you to add in just about everything that a regular site would for a lot less money.
HTML, CSS, and PHP. You can't do anything with websites if you don't know anything about them.
Well from what I have gathered klaushouse says the exact opposite.Anyways gman1000 if you can't get an answer than try to google it or something.Sorry I can't help you all too much.

If you plan on creating your own design from scratch by yourself then thats fine, you need to know html php css and all that fun stuff. But what most people who have their own site do is install wordpress and use one of their thousands of themes from their site or about any site, just google wordpress themes and you will find millions. These are all free and you can download and install them to your site. The difference is that having your own site is much more efficient clean, not full of ads for freewebs, won't have a disgusting www.freewebs.com/name domain, because those are horrible and no one wants to go to those. You can customize everything you want to a tee. And if you have extra money to spend have a theme made for you. I have a guy who made my theme for my site for 150$, my friend is turning it into code now. Its unique and owned by me and no one else can use it. Voila.
I really suggest you guys move away from free website creators/hosting. Places like free webs tend to have really ugly layouts and annoying features (Like the one where a flame follows your mouse cursor).
You can get a domain name and web hosting pretty cheap, and it doesn't talk long to learn the things you need to create a layout. All you really need is html and css, and then you can add some cool features with javascript. It could only take a day/few days to learn html and css, and maybe 1-3 days to learn the basics of javascript. Php is also very useful, so I suggest you learn that too.
A good place to learn from is http://www.w3schools.com/ which I've used before and recommend.
Of course, like Klaushouse said, you could use a wordpress theme, but it would be good to make your own and be able to edit it whenever you want to add anything new to it.
If you want to test anything, you could download and install the Apache HTTP Server (I've heard that Lighttpd is good if you use Linux, but I've never used it) and test some things on your home computer. You could also show people what you've done by forwarding your port 80 (http://portforward.com/ for a guide), but I don't suggest hosting your website on your home computer. If you do want to test some things with Apache I suggest downloading XAMPP (look it up, it comes with some useful things to help you).
