    make a layout design, of course. And after that you have 2 choices:
    1. learn HTML and create your site from scratch.
    2. Use CMS and create theme from scratch, or you can find and modify existing theme to meet your need.

    1. Register a domain name
    2. Get a web hosting account to host files of that domain
    3. Learn how to create HTML or aspx or php files and upload them to your web hosting account

    I agree with everybody elses ideas, suggestions so far.

    Here's my suggestions:

    Grab a copy of Adobe Dreamweaver and experiment.

    Your website will have no limits.

    There are some free website creation kits that you can google if you're not willing to invest.

    Another option is for creating popular sites are Blogs such as "Blogger/Blogspot.com" and a more professional option "Wordpress"

    Check it out.

    Before you creating a website. think about the subject, about keywords. After that register domain name and host your domain. create a good themes(template). or download from any free template site. make changes in templates and upload your template.

    If you've never created a website before, try using microsoft expression - or dreamweaver - or even a freebie such as weebly or Microsoft Small Business website.

    It's so easy! There's only 2 steps.

    1/Open your Paypal account.
    2/Send me some money.

    And that's it. I'll create one for you, you'll have nothing else to do.

    Ahhh, just joking. But if you don't anything about webmastering, I'll suggest to open a blogspot account for free.

    1:Buy a domain and hosting space.
    2:Creat your websit design using HTML
    3:Use PHP or java or Vb script for programming
    4:Use any database for back-end

    Probably you will need some blog or commerce platform if you want to make something sophisticated

    you can make your website if you have knowledge about any web developing language like PHP or ASP. You should create your domain through online and then after you can upload any web page file in your website domain.
    Also you can make website by HTML. This is a easy language to create website!

    If your thinking about web design I must suggest the website design for dummies series, it sounds lame but they are great books to get you up and running fast, i am now a professional web programmer (an actual pro, not working on my friends sites) and I have to say that those books were a great starting place.

    Well, there are too things that you should keep in mind while making a website like you should know about all the requirement of your website and you should also know about the visitors of your website so that whenever you want to hire web design company then you should discuss all your needs with the company so that they can make a website that can meet all your needs....

    Depends on what it's for, but presuming the server is handled by someone else, you'll need structured content and tools to build webpages to 'contain' your contents. Once you put your pages on the server, you'll need a way to get to the website (a domain name installed on the server where your webpages are hosted).

    As pipes implied, it also very much depends on the kind of website you're trying to make. The first and most important (like, really!) step is to think and plan - what do you want to achieve and who is it for? Your planning will have major implications for your approach to building the site, so it's an essential step.

    I think there are three main points are necessary---

    First register your website domain.

    Designing of your site. Choose theme for your site.

    Language (PHP, Java, CSS) means coding part.
