Is there a simple and free way to create a website with several pages

I am a newbie and need easy education.
This is not a newsgroup for web design, but I think you know that.
Open your client newsgroup list and have a look. The list they
created here, likely is not exhaustive. But at least you can
see that alt.html hosts quite a tree of specialties.

You could download the Apache server and install it,
then open Firefox (on the same machine as the Apache server) at
http://127.0.0.1
and see the Apache welcome page.
Then edit the Apache webpage and be an instant
Internet Success.
*Do Not* port forward port 80 external, to port
80 on the 127.0.0.1 instance. You are not qualified
to run a web server for real usage, and some hacker
will tip you over in no time at all. When I jokingly
refer to installing your own web server, it's for usage
on your own LAN segment only.

I specifically did not suggest IIS (built into your
computer, in Programs and Features : Windows Features,
because it might just be slightly more aggravating
than Apache :-)
The Seamonkey web browser, nas a web page editor built in.
It isn't exactly a "power tool", but at least it gives
some idea what a basic editor looks like. Some people
edit HTML with Notepad. Others might use (venerable/obsolete)
Microsoft Frontpage. Which injects all sorts of punctuation
to get things to line up.
Versions greater than around Seamonkey 2.49.5 or so, are not for WinXP.
The current version on the upper right here, should work
fine in Windows 8.
