php is only if you require sever side technology, ther are lots of free templates around, an editor like dreamweaver makes life easier, if costly there is a reasonable one called selida2 which is free. Domain bname and hosting yes when you want to upload.
If you're just making a blog site just use something like wordpress, or if you're comfortable with HTML you could just build a static site instead which has the advantage of not needing PHP support (which means you can host it on the free webspace from your ISP).
It's convenient to use softwares like dreamweaver or frontpage. And of course you need a domain and buy some shared server or use free hosting. And for you, you shall carefully prepare the content and do some investigation of the competitors.
