Google Sites allows you to create websites quickly and easily.

No prior knowledge of HTML coding is needed to get started and it is free of charge.

You can also purchase a domain name and assign it to Sites, although, if you are considering purchasing a domain name, it may also be worth investigating Google Apps Standard Edition as it offers a larger storage capacity for Sites (100Mb versus 10Gb) and bundles the associated features together (e-mail, calendar, documents) inside your domain name.

"How much Storage do I have [with the different versions of] Sites?"

Steegle's Article: Advanced Tables (How to Center the Table, Remove Borders, Merge Cells/Columns, and add Background Colors):
http://www.steegle.com/websites/google-sites-howtos/advanced-tables
Note: Tables can also be used to force formatting on a page (i.e., make a section of a page two or more columns, keep objects side-by-side... If you don't want the table lines visible, just follow Steegle's directions in step five above.) I highly recommend this technique anytime you are planning to put an object next to text as I have found that different browers display things differently and using this table technique keeps things looking the same no matter what browser/screen size your viewer may have. A nice visual step-by-step of this technique can be seen here:
