hey all - So I'm starting a charity organization, and purchased a domain name (Flash Intro Page / www.illplayforyoutonight.com).
Generally speaking I'm experienced on computers. For a profession, I write SAS queries, SQL, etc. Work in Microsoft Access, etc etc.
HOWEVER...
When it comes to building a website I'm near clueless.
Building a webpage manually
How i understand the process is, I "create" my website, just like I create a 'pages' doc, or word doc. I then upload that creation to my HOST who then takes that 'file' and places it on the web. I guess I need a, building a web site for dummies, from the time you purchase a domain, to the time it's "complete." I've searched, but hopefully you guys know of something better I've been unable to find.

Free software that doesnt restrict me to templates?
Hosting a forum Is there something I can download? The "guts" in order to host the forum?Right now I'm 'outsourcing' my forum through forummotion.com - is that the way to go?
Anything else I'm not thinking ofThat I should be with the intent of setting up a reasonably decent webpage
