You can host it as a virtual host (view the end portion of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf).

The DocumentRoot in the virtualhost portion should point to the directory where you intend to put up your web pages.

To create webpages, you can use Quanta. There are quite a few available that can help you generate your webpages.
