Help, I need to set up a charity website.

Hi, it's been so long since I have been on here I couldn't remember my log in hence this being my first post as I had to re-register.
I have recently been appointed secretary of a small local charity and I really need to start over with a whole new website as there is little, if no, decent info on the current site. My thinking is that as we are looking to relaunch with new committee members and plenty of enthusiasm it would be nice to begin again.
Being a charity, we do not have the finances to pay an expensive web design company and I have no experience with techie stuff. I have looked through the starting a website faq's and although helpful most answers seem to be from 2005/6 so I was wondering if anybody out there had some good ideas/advice/info they could send my way please:)

    If you want somthing that's easy to run and add information to, have a look at joomla! and wordpress. For that software, hosting can be obtained anywhere, most hosts have the systems in place to run it.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    How complicated a site do you need. Google sites is good for basic websites, integrates nicely with Google Docs and Calendar too.

    It all depends on what you need though.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
