You don't make a web page using cpanel, cpanel gives you access to services offered by your host and let's you edit some configuration options.

You create a web page using a web editor, of which there are thousands to choose from. Everyone will tell you that the one they use is great, of course. Mainly because if they switched to a different one they'd have to invest time in learning how to use it, and what they know about their current program might be of no use.

But it helps to know a little about those editors to avoid! Any one that says "Click and Type" or "just drag and drop" should be avoided like the plague..Any program that is built for one purpose and can also save as html or save for the web should also be avoided. Frontpage is the sign of the beast and should be cleansed from society.

Your main problem is going to be building a page, as you need some background knowledge of html and of css. If you have access to the site though, you can copy a page, save it with a new name and edit the text in any text editor. Notepad ++ (not windows notepad, but a much better editor) is free and can be used. Then you have to upload the page to the site - cpanel has a simple file manager which will let you do this for a quick one-off. If you made html pages regularly, you'd get an ftp program instead as that is more convenient to use.

Good post from dr john..
Anyhow yeah Notepad ++ is a editor for just a simple site, as I think you have to make.. for a little understanding of HTML you can read on http://html.net/
There is a guide for both HTML and CSS, which should cover your needs.. I'll disagee with you Dr John on one thing, or well Frontpage is crap, but for people that have just started and don't need better it can be used..
My choice is Dreamweaver, but it's abit more expensive

USE DREAMWEAVER - it's amazing, haha.

Alternatively, if the page you want to add is VERY similar to the existing one, open the existing page, click view>source, then copy, paste into notepad and change little bits of the code to adapt it to how you want. You should be able to work it out without too many problems. If it's only text and images you want to alter, then you'll have no problems - just don't fiddle with anything <inside these types of tags>.

Remember not to save the resulting file as a .txt file - make it an .html extension.
