You will need a few things.
You will probably want to hire a company like mine to do it for you, but if you don't want to then you can start by looking at Content Management Systems like Joomla or Drupal. Joomla is more refined and easier to understand allowing for the options such as you'd have on the sites you'd mentioned. Drupal is more powerful and has more capability but as this increases so does confusion. Ruby On Rails is a good programming language to start with if you want to program one yourself. Either way check out the resources below. All are open source solutions, but you will require a basic to intermediate understanding of PHP, CSS and even HTML would help. http://www.Joomla.org http://www.Drupal.org http://Rubyonrails.org If you need help IM or EMAIL me, I will also check here to see if you need more advice.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: http://www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. You can reach reviews about this web hosting provider and its latest DISCOUNT COUPONS at: http://www.threehosts.com/reviews/1st They also offer "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally. You can also create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online. ******IMPORTANT******** * This service was awarded “The Best Web Host OF The Yearâ€. * If you sign up for this service you will have $75 credits to advertise your website with the google & yahoo search engines for free! * You Can Register A Free Domain or Use Your Existing Domains.
