Last year my big bad bro died, suddenly and way before his time. Without going too much into the emotions of it all, my brothers and I, his sister, his vast legions of very close friends and especially my mum miss him terribly. His loss has left a big hole in our lives.
In order to have a central place for his family and friends to remember and celebrate his life, we've decided to put a website together - a resource where people can check out photos and videos of the man in action (he was a poet and a fairly..... errrr..passionate one, it has to be said), as well as post messages, memories, photos, maybe videos (though I know that video is shocking on bandwidth, so it'd probably be favourite to put Youtube links in in much the same way as people are able to do on YD if that's possible).
Being the IT type of the family, I've managed to talk myself into putting it all together.


There is a problem here. I do networks, domains, security policies, databases and all that sort of thing for a living, but I haven't the faintest idea how to put a website together and am frankly terrified, cos I suspect it's a big ask.

Can you guys and gals out there give me some ideas/hints/tips on what software would be best to use in terms of simplicity and versatility, and the things to go for/avoid when putting something like this together?
I have both PCs and Macs so OSs are not an issue, software wise, whatever works best.

Any useful hints, do's and donts would also be very gratefully received.

For info I've registered a domain name and have a limit of 500MB of space and 5GB/month of traffic to play with.

Many thanks
Rob Evans. (Yes, that pain in the arse)
