Using the right tools makes all the difference in any task you undertake.
To design your own web site you need  web design tools.  I have listed here the tools I use and a choice 
of others available to you.  This is meant to be a basic 
list for the beginner. 
I do not write all my own HTML.  There are good HTML editors for that purpose.  I see no reason to reinvent the wheel.  If you can write all your own scripts, you do not need this page.
You do need to have a basic understanding of HTML in order to make corrections.  By basic I mean, the bare bones of getting your web page on the internet.
There are many excellent books on HTML and tutorials on web design.  I will not repeat their contents here, I have included some links to these sources so you can decide which ones you need.

Don't worry about understanding everything at once.  Take one step at a time. Read and reread, if it still makes no since leave if for a while.  Try again later  when you are less stressed.
