For starters, visit weebly.com and make a free website. Everything is basic drag and drop. Easy and hasslefree.

You can also try yola.com although I dont have prior experience of yola.

You can my word that weebly is great. Free website will be up in no time :)

I don't think so.

Those free website ones offer you interface to make something basic like personal websites.

Why dont you learn if you seriously want to setup a business like olx?

Or may be you'd like to hire someone!

No, its just for fun. summer holidays are approaching and i wanted to learn how to make a website, actually programming and all.

It could contribute towards my marks as we have html programming this year and i still have to get my book.

I just wanted any trusted resources and/or some help from you guys.

Well there are many features locked in Weebly that will be accessible only when pro[pay them a particular fees]
in any case it would be better to hire someone. Also I think managing that type of website will get tedious through weebly.
Olx certainly doesnt look like a site a single person made in a few hours.

OK, I have decided that I want to make a forum kind of site. Where all friends can get together online and post questions and stuff. Facebook is really discouraged in our school

@ clmlbx >> It's good as basic overview., OP can have a better idea now about the procedure.

@ aaruni >> For Mac., use MAMP server if you want a self hosted web server and buy a free domain from byethost.com or 000webhost.com and before go for short free domain like yoursite.co.cc for free., go to CO.CC - Free Domain name registration + Free DNS service. to register you domain and then you can host wordpress from home easily and securely.

To help u in better manner i'll post the useful links or going to create a new post for newbies.

Why did you asked for mac OS if you don't want to go for self-hosted server., anyways if you don't want to setup self-host then now you'r on easy way but requires time to setup & maintain because it depends on your internet connection., if YES then do following :-

- Get a free domain from byethost.com or 000webhost.com

- Let them host., they got enough space for free members too.

- So just install WordPress by auto script installer(like FANTASTICO etc.,) if allowed by hosting sites or simply follow the WordPress 5 minutes install (Requires FTP upload & WordPress software to install MANUALLY).

- After your site is up install any FORUM.

That's it you'r done., anymore questions ??
