Beginners Tutorial

Hi Everyone,
I am brand new to word press and website creating and thought it would be a little easier than this! I have searched a few step by step tutorials but they all still seem a little out of my league. If anyone else is beginner and found a helpful forum or tutorial it would be much appreciated. I was thinking of possibly getting someone to create it for me but not sure how pricey that can get. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
