Hope I am not too late with a suggestion. Only just now found your posting. I have an easy to use, basic HTML tutorial online that may be of some use to you. I have taught many classes in HTML as well as other web design related skills. Try the tutorial and email me at
marsha@wildwoodforeststudios.com if you need more help. I'll be happy to oblige. The tutorial can be accessed
here.
As for the hosting, I find OLM.com to be an excellent hosting service. When you are ready to add e-commerce to your site, they have a package that includes "MIVA Merchant" a server-side program that allows you to build and hook up a full e-store fully customized to your look and feel.

is it possible to have a local web site for things in the neighbor and have a pro and con interaction on local businesses?
Would it be costly to set up?
Would it be costly to operated on a small scale?

You can build a website from your very own PC. The software comes with your Windows operating system. Or, if you want more horsepower, call up a local Internet Service Provider and see if they wouldn't mind letting you have 5 megabytes of memory on their server. All you need at that point is a file transfer program so you can upload the webpages you create at home to the ISP server. Everything is free except the ISP itself.
Later, if you want to upgrade the bandwidth to your webpage, you can transfer it to one of the big server providers, of which there are many.

I need to figure out HOW TO MAKE THE THING! If you are reading this message, you already have everything you need to make your own webpage. It can be simple at first. Use your word processor, most have HTML built in. Put the name of your business on the page. Using HTML try to change the size of the lettering or the color, and look at the file with your internet browser, the same one you are looking at this message with.
