This is the best option and can be ad free for £2.99 per month.

Very easy to use and easy to upload and view.

when you have the site sorted give me a pm and as long as its small and not offensive I may be able to host it for you

I would generally suggest basing the site on a dynamic content management system as it will allow you to get a good site up with great support.. opensource cms are the best to use for licence reasons and the fact that they are free

Your internet provider should give you some website space free.

Basic HTML knowledge and a few JPEG pictures is all you need for a simple site.

a .co.uk name should be under £5 for 2 or 3 years.
