What's the easiest way to build a website?
The easiest way of building a website, is to use an online website builder. A good website builder can set up your website within minutes. Then, all you need to do is add content. It doesn't get much easier than this! Also, a good website builder will require no technical knowledge. You simply choose a design from a list of templates, then customize it to suit your needs.

To see an example of a great online website builder, check out this Website Builder from ZappyHost.

What skills are required to build a website?
If you choose to build your own website (instead of using a website builder), you will need to know HTML and CSS. You should also have a basic understanding of web hosting, and more specifically, how to select a hosting provider. It would be beneficial to have at least a basic knowledge of JavaScript and web graphics. That should do you for a basic website. If you want to build more advanced websites, you should learn a server side scripting language such as PHP or ColdFusion. You should also learn about databases, and more specifically, SQL.
Do I need to be good at design?
Not necessarily. Many web developers aren't good designers. Web developers often buy professionally made website templates. A website template is the quickest way to create a professional looking website, while still having control over the source code. If you don't consider yourself to be a good designer, try a professionally designed website template.

Alternatively, you can always use an online website builder. This is the quickest way to create a professional looking website, and it includes over 800 professionally designed templates, as well as hosting and much more.
