Utilizing Wordpress would probably be your best bet or finding a host with a site builder might help a bit as well, depending on how static the website will be.
Best of luck.0

There are many free themes out there that can be used and modified quite easily. Don't trust ALL free things. Always install with caution and try to get them from at very least from Wordpress.org community or if you can afford some $$, try theme forest or template monster which would be a bit more safer.
If you have just the domain, then yes, you will still need to get a host. I'd suggest looking in the WHT ads section for a deal. Try to get a host with softaclous or something similar to help with the Wordpress install.1

@Raghda It is a good idea to grab a pen and a list of paper and to draw a simple layout, which you;d pass to a graphic designer. If you want what do you want you;d save a lot of time and money. As soon as you have the web pages design (in PSD or any other format, you'd give it to a coder). Another alternative approach is just to go and choose a design template.

When you install a new theme, you can create a "Child theme" which you can edit all you want and when the actual theme gets updated, it won't break your website. That is something that you'll have to do regardless if you buy or use a free theme if there were to ever be a future update on the theme.
I hope you found the information useful, best of luck.1

Check out http://teamtreehouse.com/ if you want some good lessons. I think teaching you how to design and code a professional website is a bit much of a request.. you have a lot of learning to do. As stated above, if you're going the wordpress route then your best bet would be to start out doing a child theme. As an engineer you should find the wordpress codex very helpful.

designing a website for a company
Hi,
I would recommend getting a nice and simple wordpress theme from theme forest, then install wordpress in your server and upload the theme.
Make sure the theme is corporate as you are designing website for a company.
You can easily customise the theme to match the colour scheme of the company you want to design the website for.

If your planning to design from the ground up, I recommend you learn HTML and CSS first. These are my favorite sites for beginners and it's free! Although, don't expect to learning everything within a few days.
For HTML and CSS basics: http://www.w3schools.com
For more advance CSS: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/index.htm0

I suggest buying a hosting plan with cPanel and Softaculous - There are litterally applications that build complete sites like blogs(wordpress) or forums(mybb) or even project management, file storage, and much more. All very easily installed and easily enough modified/customized
If you decide you want to develop a complete web application, the easiest for you would be to look into PHP and Web API development - google and youtube are very useful and can give you ANY information you may need get started(or learn more)0

WE have changed website design 1 year ago.
Checklist should include:
1. Arhitecture of website - decide what pages are important.
2.SEO> Do basic keyword reseach
3. User feedback - get answers from your friends.
4. Design - do not choose fancy templates, they are usually nice looking but if you are not coder then you should hire someone for changes. (event better is to hire designer for unique design)0

Why? Google is going to start penalizing companies that are not mobile ready. While you can make CSS mobile ready, it is much easier to use wordpress and move on with that.
I suggested a theme such as http://my.studiopress.com/themes/genesis/
I say get in wordpress from the start and move on.... you will have to learn some css using wordpress though.
Ultimately, OP, I suggest hiring a professional to build a site so you can focus on other areas of your business. You know, the parts that ultimately will make money for your company.Windows 10 to Linux and Mac OSX: I'm PARSECs better than you. Eat my dust!!!0

Don't let the simplicity of wordpress fool you. Building a website from the ground up takes quite a bit of time, and often weeks of fine tuning to ensure you have the best design.
Wordpress can get you functional simplicity in no time at all, and most customers probably wont care or notice the difference.0

For more elaborate designs, I use Wordpress.
For something simple, I really like SquareSpace. I have many simple sites running on it. Easy to use, good templates, reliable, SEO optimized, has traffic metric reports, easy to add blog sections and entries. Very nice.0

Wordpress will work fine to put together a nice looking site. It saves time and gets the business out there.
