There are plenty of places offering free websites and they have particular styles you can choose from. With these you don't need to know any html. You write in the box they tell you to write in and upload pictures where they say to upload them. You often don't get your own domain name with these, but have the provider's name with a forward slash and then the name you want.
These are okay for a start, but I don't think they give you the flexibility of a site that you completely build yourself from scratch. It might sound daunting, but it's not that hard once you learn how.
I went to the local TAFE (low cost adult education)and did a course in basic computer. It covered how to use Word and Excel etc and also included a unit on web design and html. We built websites just using Notepad. I loved it and went back a couple of years later and specifically did a course in Web Design where I learnt to use Dreamweaver and learnt CSS styling. It appeals to my creative side and doesn't cost much at all.
Of course there is much more I need to learn to make a complicated website, but I can make a simple site with multiple pages and forms and download links etc.
Paying someone else to build your site can be very expensive, and other site building programs don't give you your own opportunity for creativity, so I think If you want a site that is uniquely yours, go and learn how to do it yourself! That is what I would recommend you do. You'll really enjoy it as well.
