There are a number of clever pieces of software available which are designed to make it easy to quickly create a simple Home Page.
However, they don't expose you to HTML in any sense (a good thing too you might be thinking) and so you will learn very little about the process of creating a Home Page.
Even the best Home Page Wizards won't always create the page just the way you want it and if you're serious about creating the best, there really is no alternative to writing HTML. I would however, recommend the use of a good HTML Editor to make things easy. A number of suggestions are on the HTML Editors article.
But if you just can't wait to publish your page on the web, you could try my instant page maker.
I've purposely made it very simple. All you need to do is replace some text and move a few things around if you wish. What you'll quickly achieve is a simple Home Page containing all the information you wish to publish with a nifty animated button which a visitor can use to send you an email. Even better you will have learnt a little about HTML!
For details about the software that you will need to upload your page to a server, look at the Uploading article.
If needed, information about zip files and downloading files can be found on the Downloading article.
