Woah this thread makes me feel old
There is a wealth of information online about creating website using CMS. I would suggest buying a test domain and renting a cheap shared hosting server (at least 1 database) and playing around with it. Install a CMS of choice and just practice with it.
I would recommend WordPress because it has much more information available for beginners. Apart from the huge amount of plugins available to help you, it also has a great support forum where you will most likely find an answer to your questions.

can you please help with absolutely free domain servers.
Good Morning,
My name is Anton. I'm glad I came across your chat. I'm a beginner in the online marketing business. I went for a few courses with Chris Farrell membership. I really did learn a lot from him. Seriously, I've been struggling for 4 months and didn't make any money on line.
Maybe my downfall is that some "settings" in the "back office" is not talking to the correct systems. I did everything that Chris said, but still no ROI.
Will you please share a few thoughts with me? It feels like I'm the only one in SA that is "dof" with this.
Thank you
Regards
Anton
Hmm.. If you're using Joomla as your CMS I wrote a pretty popular article for Moz.com a couple years back which could help you improve your on-site SEO efforts.
As far as driving traffic to your site goes, the above is a prime example of what worked really well for me. I spent a whole lot of time writing quality content for highly popular websites in my industry both locally and internationally and got a ton of links and references in return. The quality seriously has to be good though or you're wasting your time.
Right now our advertising spend is zero and we run a perfectly sustainable business.
At the end of the day, there is no substitute for expertise. Spend the time producing quality and don't go straight for the quick fixes. Relationships matter more than you know and contributing wholeheartedly on a forum such as this one could net you more business than you expect.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Don't bother with press releases unless you've got a really interesting story to tell. Even then, I'd hope to have a few relationships with popular journalists/bloggers before placing much hope in press releases.
