His questions are actually pretty legitimate.
Search for "how to make a website" on Google yourself, and tell me if that should make any sense to a newbie. You can tell that the first few results don't really make sense, but a beginner can't.
Imagine someone trying to learn about websites by using the
first result on Google
And no, he shouldn't read too many threads on any forum just yet, but a few focused articles
Anyway, here are some concrete steps...
Go ask around Google.
You're interested in html, so look for html tutorials and find the one that looks readable to you.
After you're done with reading a couple of them & understanding what it's all about, go through a few basic css tutorials.
Make yourself a test.html page on your PC and use it to practice the things you've learned in the tutorials.
If you really want to do it, all of this shouldn't take you more than a week.
After you're done, come back here, report on your progress and then we'll talk marketing.
