You'll probably (unless you've done it already) need to register the domain name - www.yourdomainnamehere.co.uk or whatever.
There's innumerable web hosting companies and so on. Other people'll probably give you their opinions, but here's my personal list of decent providers:
For buying your domain name: www.lcn.biz
For webhosting: www.1and1.co.uk (although these guys are more for full on professional hosting, and possibly a bit expensive for your friend's needs)
For web creation software: www.macromedia.com - they sell a package called DreamWeaver, which is generally considered to be the industry standard. It's (again) probably a bit expensive for your needs though.
All in all, I'd find a friend who can do it for you, and ask them. It's quite easy to be ripped off when it comes to web stuff, particularly with web 'designers' who're complete crap yet charge the earth.
