Create Static Website

Hi Folks,

I am new to create static website and HTML. I have created two applications using Asp.net/Visual Studio. I am wondering how i can make static website.
I found built in templates on web hosting site is easy to change, I can also try to use Ms Expression Web/Ms Front Page but unable to measure which one is better for maintaing pointing of view. How i can easily create graphics logo.
I heard Corel Draw is good one.
Do i have to buy licence to upload site built by Ms Expression Web/Ms Front Page.

Could any body share his/her experience about creating static website.

You help is greatly appreciated.

By "Static" you mean the web page doesn't change, right? Just making sure we are on the same page.

I won't use Frontpage. I believe you have to pay for that program. If you know how to code, use Notepad++ to do it. Easy and free. If you don't, I'd avoid the designer in Frontpage (or Dreamweaver which is what I use) and just code it there.

For graphics, I use Photoshop, but there are much cheaper alternatives out there.

Frontpage is not standards compliant for the latest Web standards. You are better off using DW or notepad++.
