Do you have any experience with this sort of thing? I'd certainly recommend searching for some online tutorials.
First things first is to get your layout sorted, so a design program like Photoshop/Imageready is key. You'll need to make an index file in order to tell your host how you want your web page to be displayed. If you can't find any tutorials online about this, I'll try and walk you through the basics here. |

Start with basic html tag and few designing softwares like ( Photoshop ) I will suggest you to go for w3schools.com for getting your hands on basic stuffs.
