text: Well, it depends on what you want to do with a web site. There are many sites that host websites for free. Or you could go to a place like MySpace and build it with help there.  If you want to start from scratch - you would have to understand at least HTML to build it. There are also programs out there that aid you in making a web site. So, it really depends on what you want to do and how you want to do it.
