    WordPress is the best option for a newbie. Unless you know languages such as html, css... and many more.

    cry and beg... or pay someone if you don't want to learn programming. A static website would be easy thought.

    There are many ways to create a website. Some are listed below From Easy to Hard:

    1- Using Wordpress you can create many kind of websites by only selecting a Theme.

    2- Using online Drag & Drop services like weebly.com, webs.com and 000webhostapp.com etc, you can customize the look of your website and can add differents widgets to your website.

    3- Learn HTML, CSS, Java Script & JQuery. This is the toughest but most rewarding because it gives you the most freedom to create and design your website however you like.

    To learn HTML CSS etc there are many sites that teach it but here are my suggestions. CodeCademy, W3Schools, FreeCodeCamp and a youtube channel named mmtuts. These are all free but some paid courses can be found on Lynda and Uedmy.

    Last but not the least pay someone to build a website for you.:blobReach::blobReach:

    dreammaker has a free trial, you can manually code it while learning how to with youtube tutorials
    or you could just use Wix, which helps you create a simple website for free

    If you want a website, but dont really care bout the nuts and bolts, use a service like SquareSpace or whatever.
    If you wanna learn it on your own, Udacity has nice courses on Intro to Web Dev. Do that and you're good to go. Fair warning, it's not an easy thing, building a good website. I mean, everyone and their cat can build a website, but only cats or those who have good web dev expertise can build a good one

    if you have no money to spend, your only option is free services, of which wordpress is the best.

    yes the fundamentals of website design is html and css, further boosted by javascript if you know how to keep your site secure. but these skills are wasted if you are not hosting your own site, which requires spending to support.

    pay someone, it's really not expensive, probably the price of hosting for a year really. If you want to create a site outside the services that let you byass most of the coding it's going to take months before you can even make a proper site let alone make one that's actually better then the services liek Wordpress and Squarespace etc etc.
