Need help designing a website! Any advice for quick and easy ways to learn to do this, is appreciated.
I've been a web developer for over 15 years and the only "quick and easy" method that I'm aware of are freebie sites like WIX.
On the other hand, if you already know HTML, CSS, javascript, etc., and have graphics skills (e.g., Photoshop), maybe you just need a free template to modify for your own use.

Blinky crap, everyone likes blinky crap!

Either go on codecademy.com and learn HTML,CSS, and bootstrap. Or use wix.com and you can do it easily too.

Another vote for Word Press. Easy enough for beginners, robust enough that advanced users can make complex sites. Check out the ready made templates, some of them free, some of them are for sale. You should be able to find a template that will do most of the work for you.

Many hosts offer Drag and Drop templates for designing
your own website. You can also add HTML if you feel bold
enough to go there. I created my own and also learned enough
HTML to customize the site for my company. 6-Months learning curve.

I use Weebly Drag and Drop for my site. Small learning curve
but some HTML will be needed. All have tutorials and phone help.

The drag and drop is the easiest. Watch who you hire if you go that
route. I've been ripped off which is why I decided to learn for myself.
Also READ that contract if you hire somebody to design a site for you
because in some cases they may actually own your site even though you paid
them to create it for you. I detest those people who hide legalese in contracts.

I guess somebody should ask, What are you planning to use the site for?

Don’t worry if it seems complicated. CSS & HTML are for layout. Create DIVs (boxes to put content in) Add some styling for the fonts (size & type & color)
The hard part is content. Create a folder and put the index.html page there and a subfolder for your images.
Create subfolders for each page with an image folder so they do not get mixed up and you can sort things out easily.

Great place for tools that will make things easy. They have different Generators that let create what took frustrating hours (it seems) in minutes.
