[AccessD] Off Topic - Web Site Creation Software

Hey All
After many years  I now have some free time on my hands (thanks to the 
state of the economy) and I am thinking, it is about time I created my 
own website.  I thought I would ask your opinion on how I should 
approach this.
I am not thinking about any thing fancy at the moment,  just basically 
a  business profile and information page (and then learn as I go).  I am 
looking for an inexpensive piece of web site creation software to get me 
up and going.  I have checked the reviews and the problem I am having is 
one site will rave about a  particular software program and give it full 
stars and then on the next site they basically say it is a "piece of 
garbage".  So I am totally confused. I am hoping to get some advice from 
the group, on how I should be approaching this whole thing (totally a 
newbie on this one).  To avoid  wasting other's band space could you 
contact me off-line.
Thank you.
