It is not that hard. You just need to get a domain name and set up hosting where you keep all your files. Then you simply install content management system and thats it- you can start adding content to it. You can see a detailed tutorial here- http://my10minutewebsites.com/
First of all, have something to say. Then think of an effective way on how to say it.
Content over presentation. Usefulness over flashiness.
A professional website has the following features:
- It's usable. A random joe will have no trouble navigating through it and accessing its content.
- It's consistent. Everything is on the expected place and all pages work the same way.
- It has a pleasant look that doesn't hinder the above features. Text is easy to read, icons are pleasing and intuitive, colors are consistent with your website's identity.
- It's correctly written:
-- All HTML is valid and renders properly on most web browsers.
-- JPEG images are used exclusively for photographs.
-- PNG images are used for icons and static graphics with large areas of solid colors.
-- Multimedia content degrades gracefully when some browser doesn't support displaying such content.
- It's search-engine friendly
- etc. I'm not a pro Web Designer, this is all I can remember now.
