The first website was basically just a recap from what we learned in the html lab. Writing html to change the text, background, or even how to put graphics in, etc.
Yes anyone with a computer can create a website but the key is just keeping it simple and to the point. You want to be able to guide the visitors attention throughout your site. Making sure to design the page and the stuff you place on a page easy to use. So nobody walks away feeling stupid or frustrated.
The biggest advantage to creating your own website is that you'll save yourself a lot of money and being able to go in and change things yourself when there's a problem rather then having to wait for whoever designed you're website to go in and fix it. There again more money. Some of the drawbacks really are if you're not familiar with what you're doing can really turn out to be a desaster.
The difference between usability and accessibility with regards to web design is that usability is designing to make the stuff on the page easier to use and accessibility is how well everything is displayed. Is it easy to find something? These are both important factors in developing a good website. You don't want people to go to your page and not being able to find their way around they'll leave feeling confused and frustrated.
