Here are a bunch of great resources you can use to create your own free website with no programming experience necessary.

Google Sites allow you to create websites collaboratively. Making it simple for multiple users to add file attachments, information from other Google Apps, and creating new content to a website. Google Sites uses a user-friendly template, making it painless for users to modify/update content, change the design, and share information.

Hubpages is an internet community where people can easily write and publish content about any topic they want on the internet.
