How on earth did you get started? I've decided to make a simple site to showcase finished work, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the layout I have in my head on the computer.

I have already purchased a domain name and hosting plan through IX Webhosting. (The expert plan shown in the link, if anyone's interested.) I have also been downloading multiple freeware programs to try and get things underway. I made a very simple splash page stating the website name and "coming soon" just to have something up there to replace the default, but when I tried to upload it to the server... nothing happened.

I have been Googling various articles for the last two hours trying to figure out what the hell I am doing, but I'm at a loss and rapidly becoming frustrated enough to say to hell with it all and give up. Does anyone know of any good resources that would explain web design to the absolute beginner? How did you get started figuring out what to do? Or did you just find someone else to do it for you?
