what type of site are you wanting to start? a site to display photos with a lot of text or just photos or just text?

If its just a photo web site there are a few free programs that build all the html files and such for you. then you just upload the stuff to your server.

JAlbum is a free web albmu maker. its easy to use and free.

You can also look for some pre-formatted templates on google. You can usually purchase them for less than $50.

Or you could just find one that you like online, copy the source code and replace the images with your own! :p

There are several other things to consider when starting a website. I'm not sure about your budget, but I felt like I should just point out a few additional things that you may or may not have already looked into. In addition to designing a site, you will also need to look into hosting, DNS, domain registration, and other fees associated with web startup. Some of the charges are annual, some are monthly. I design my sites with DreamWeaver and Flash MX which are probably more than you want to get into at present. I'm sorry I don't really have much input on other types of development software since I've never used them.

I would recommend against doing this. It's true you can do this with some sites (I protect mine against this form of theft), but it is a form of stealing. Many people take web design very seriously in the same way photographers consider their images their own. I would not like someone copying one of my websites and re-using it anymore than I would someone copying one of my photos and selling it. This is THEFT no matter how you look at it.

using view source to work out how something is done is one thing (thats how i learnt to webdesign - mostly because people used scripts from places like w3schools which i thank the gods for) but copying someone source to use as your own is copyright infringement not to meantion quite rude.

Don't do it.
