If you are doing business on it (eg. not a personal website), I highly suggest hiring a pro to do it for you.

from Slashdot

"The app is great for getting whatever photos, information, files you want published, and it doesn't have to be in the typical blog format. The published site is hosted at http://gmailuser.googlepages.com/. There are several templates and page formats to work from, and as far as I can tell, everything is WYSIWYG. he published HTML is very clean, but it does have some leftover fragments from editing pages repeatedly. If you want to be precise, you can manually edit the HTML. There is a Google Groups page available for the service. It took about 30 seconds to get a rudimentary page online." PC World has a quick rundown on the service at their site."

If you're starting a business, you definitely need professionals to do the site. This is not something you can do yourself, unless you have mastered HTML, CSS, Javascript, Graphics, PHP, SQL, and a whole bunch of other stuff and have spent years practicing making sites. The reason for this is, you don't want a person who just started developing web sites making a site for a business... it will look very cheap and leave a bad impression on people.

The best way, IMO, is to find a Freelance Website, where freelance web designers / developers take on projects like these, usually end up bidding to work on the site.

If you are at Godaddy you should get thier website tonight package. It is a fast way to get up a site. Will it look flashy and highly customized? Probably not. But it will be an informational site that you can running with minimal HTML skills. Unless you want to become a fulltime webmaster I suggest using tools like Website tonight or templates from a place like http://GetYourTemplateToday.com to get yourself started.

You need internet access to make a website. Looks like you're out of luck.

wow, lots of great suggestions.. thanks everyone

the tinkering is just for personal experience, and to possibly get a website up and running (though it may be ugly looking) for now just so we can send it to friends and see if the info on the site is good or not... the plan is to actually get my cousin's gf (who does this stuff for a living) to possibly do my wife's website.. i jsut want to learn to increase my knowledge base.. i mean why not right?

again, thanks everyone for all your good posts.. of course more posts are welcome! =)
