Replying to I need some basic website help

I need to set up a very basic web page for a class assignment. All I am going to need to do with it is upload some pictures (50 maybe), add some text for each picture and use some hyperlinked pictures.

What is the best way to set this up? I have never made a web page before so the easiest solution would be best.

Something similar to the set up of this site, with a general 'menu' and hyper linked thumbnails that lead to subcategories with more pictures (like Power Station or Farm House in the example site i posted).
