Try google sites

https://sites.google.com/ - all free and makes use of google docs and picasa for docs and image uploading..

You can always point a proper domain name at it as well if you want..
I haven't done any web design for ages and there are so many free blogger type sites I wouldn't bother these days...

Most website hosts have these facilities available. A small space (3GB) with one.com http://www.one.com/en/ (http://www.one.com/en/) will cost approx. £20 a year which includes the cost of a .uk domain. Another one, 2GB will cost the same with free .uk domain at CWCS Hosting http://www.cwcs.co.uk/web-hosting/linux-starter-hosting/ (http://www.cwcs.co.uk/web-hosting/linux-starter-hosting/)
