Hi,
I am the webgeek from team 573 - Team573.com and a Senior at Br. Rice High School. If you are using godaddy for your hosting it can be overwhelming to navigate their control panels especially if you are new to web design.

Some hosting services offer something called fantastico which will preinstall CMS (content management systems) such as wordpress , drupal, joomla and all you have to do is add your graphics and content. It would be the quickest way to set up but you will want to get into editing the CSS scripts and other things once you start getting into using the CMS preinstalls.

I have been designing websites for fun since 2006, and started a business in 2008. I have designed for companies that use many different hosting companies. I find the most flexible control panel to use for custom designs for the companies I do work for is cpanel. It lets me custom code html, as well as code php.

If you need a server that offers cpanel or if you want to preinstall wordpress etc.. using fantastico, feel free to contact me . I have server space and can donate some space to your team's website

I've learned everything I know about web design using tizag.com. Before you dive into web design, I highly recommend going through their HTML and CSS tutorials.

Even if you use a Content Management System, you won't get anywhere without the basic HTML and CSS first. Then comes the fun stuff - PHP/MySQL or Ruby, Javascript, but don't worry about this stuff yet : )
