making a (good) website takes time and patience. If you just wokeup today and decided "i think ill make a website" you better find something else to do.

What you first need to do is learn HTML. THis is basic and should take more than a week to master if you donate a few hours a day to it.
Learning HTML

Secondly you need to get some skill in photoshop, gimp or some other similar product. Torrent it, buy it its up to you. Mess around with the software a bit until you are comfortable with it. Look at some tutorials online.

Third. You want a place to host your website. godaddy.com is good, but not free. do some google searching to find a good webhoster. If you want something completely editable and reliable you have to drop a few dollars to get it. If you want something free, your probably going to be limited on what you can do.

Lastly, you need to build your website. Create the images for links and otherwise in photoshop and upload them to your "website". Use your newly founded HTML skills to weave the pictures together into a snazzy webpage.

This is what smosh uses, but it isn't free.

They don't use Invision hosting. Just Invison forums. I think they use phyber for hosting.

Anyways, this is what I use and what I think smosh uses as well as some of the pros.

Editing: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Template: Adobe Photoshop CS3
Graphics: Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Fireworks CS3
Forums: Invison Power Board
Hosting and Domain: GoDaddy.com

Hope I helped.

Out of curiosity, how reliable is this website for building a website? There's got to be a catch it it's free...

if you want to make a really nice flash website for free i reccomend wix.com. you can also make myspace layouts on there too. the only thing that will be on there is a little wix.com logo, other than that it costs $0

Your website will not be
www.whateveryouwanthere.com
but it would be
www.freewebs.com/whateveryouwanthere/
OR
www.whateveryouwanthere.webs.com

To make a full blown website like this one you need to know: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. You can learn all of this here. You also need a web sever. I use Byethost

im a web developer for a living, I'd say it takes years of know how, maybe some college courses before you really know whats your doing java, html, css is all kitty candy when it comes down to php and ajax, ect..
