I want to make myself a webpage and was wondering what software i should use. I have not done anything like this before so I need something thats easy to understand but also good and flexible. It would be great If any of you can point me in the right directions
You do not need any software. Except a text editor such as Notepad (comes with Windows) and an FTP program to upload the files. (A command line based FTP program comes with Windows, but there are free graphical FTP programs that are easier to use, I would recommend FileZilla.)
Personally, I do all my web page editing using Vedit, since it is the best text editor available. However, if you do not need an editor for anything else than making web pages, then you might consider one of the dedicated HTML editors, many of which are free (for example HTML-Kit).
You should avoid using so called WYSIWYG editors (such as Front Page). They can be used for small modifications on existing pages, but they should not be used for creating new pages, since the result is horrible. And in any case, you need to learn HTML if you are going to create web pages.
You do not need to do any programming to create a web page. You definitely do not need to use CMS or PHP or anything like that. Web pages are done by writing simple HTML code, and possibly some CSS (style sheet) to adjust the appearance of the page.
