I'm very pleased with my free VistaPrint email trial - I intend to sign up.
As for a website, I have a free one but I don't care for it. Vistaprint offers websites with free hosting. I plan to get one next month after my free trial is up.
If you are a beginner, I would suggest trying out a number of free sites and practice building pages. You will discover that you like some better than others. Then you can decide on your own.
