You can make a website for free through Yahoo (GeoCities) and tripod. On the Yahoo page click on geocities and follow the instructions. Or go to tripod.com and you can set one up there free. The only thing about the free ones is that your adress will have either geocities or tripod in the name unless you buy a domain name. You can do that through yahoo or godaddy.

Yahoo! has a great sitebuilder program that they give you free if you pay them for hosting. The Yahoo! hosting starts at about $9.95 per month. Keep in mind, however, that this does not include credit card processing which is more difficult and more costly. It all depends on what you would like to do with your site. You can also get good, inexpensive sites at godaddy.com I think they start at like $3.00 per month depending on what you want.

Good luck, I hope this helps.
