I don't mind having a go. Do you want the site built or just uploaded?
I wouldn't need passwords either way because I can just talk you though uploading it with instant messenger or over the phone.

Ditto bat, WTF is SMF?

Apache and IIS the only way!

AHHH!, SMF, Bit like phpforum. My mates site www.consett.org.uk runs off it.

Youll need a webserver capable of running apache, php4 or 5 and mysql. (Or IIS if you can be arsed)

If your using posh web hosting, youll have to create a blank database in mysql via the host's web control panel. Youll need the sql server username and password

Hi,
If your using someone elses hosting, most of the above needs to be enabled and then a setting up period after that before you can use it.....

For a online updatable site without a database, give http://www.pivotlog.net/ a try. It's not that hard to setup & easy to customize if you know a little HTML
