There are some good sources to get started with a web page. I would suggest using one or two of the free sources. Use them to get yourself a domain name and a free hosting account. Use the online page editors.
Play with it design your page then when you feel comfortable with it publish it to the web. If you like what you see you can upgrade to a paid account and get even more tools to use and no banner ads.
Here are 2 host sites I used in the past. I did some fairly nice sites using them even prior to knowing HTML or having any webmaster experience.
Try one or both, Jump in and get your feet wet.
Here are 2 I found to be the most helpful for a newbie webmaster with no experience and no knowledge of HTML, FTP. Msql, Domain, Hosting, Editing etc. They really are helpful to the no budget newbie.
Bravenet.com I found them to be outstanding. Plus they have numerous applets, tools etc. that you can also use on other sites if you decide not to use them as your domain host.

Freewebpages.org is also very good. It does not have all of the free tools that Bravenet has, but you can use bravenets tools on it. It is more designed for students. The page templates are easier to use and are quite attractive.

Keep in mind the draw back with free accounts is you will have banner ads and pop-ups that you have no control over.
But, these are a great way to learn and if you get something worthwhile, they can be upgraded
