I'm a newbie with about 335 names, many of which have good development potential. Sadly, I have no idea how to begin in the development process, nor do I have a notion as to the expense involved. My question is: How much can I expect to spend to put together a site which is attractive and functional, with hopes of generating decent income? Thanks for any advice on this.

Depends on what type of sites you're looking to develop. A informative blog?

Get hosting ($5/month), Set up Wordpress (free), Install a nice free template, start writing, throw on ads.

There's more to it, but this is pretty much the core basics to get you started.

All the best! ;)

blogs are a good way to go, you can use blogger with your own domains so you dont have to pay for hosting, minimising your initial costs

when you start seeing income then you can start reinvesting on hosting, paying someone for content, advertising etc

if you make porn sites, it will be costly, especially the one with videos. (download sites are expensive too)

blog or something text-y shudn't be too expensive. or even mini sites will be cheap too. another idea is creating a forum that has text only lolz, but I think blog is the most common move right now.

You can purchase a template cheaply or find use a free one but expect to pay a $100+ to customize it.

We've all started with no knowledge. What you need to consider is how a site works. It's basically a "folder" like one that you have on your computer and allows you to upload documents (text files, images, etc).

To make a web site show something when you hit the url, you need to upload or create a file called index.html.

In this index.html file, you need to put "special" text:

1. Meta Tags.
2. Document Body.

Here is what it should look like (referring to index.html):

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>This is my page title.  This will show at very top of web page</title>
    <meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, etc, all keywords, seperated, by a space, and a comma">
    <meta name="description" content="This is what google and others will read to list your site in their index.">
</head>
<body>

This is what the web page will output.  We've put the text here because it's between the starting <body> and before the ending </body>.

Finally, you'll see that we need to close the top "tag" called <html> with the bottom ending </html>.

Usually for each <tag> it requires an ending </tag> like that with the forward slash denoting it's the end of a tag.  <tag>..</tag>.

</body>
</html>

You've now figured out how the "index.html" page works. Basically if you were to copy and paste that above into a file called index.html and then uploaded to your web site main folder, you'd see this (in the browser):

This is what the web page will output. We've put the text here because it's between the starting <body> and before the ending </body>.

Finally, you'll see that we need to close the top "tag" called <html> with the bottom ending </html>.

Usually for each <tag> it requires an ending </tag> like that with the forward slash denoting it's the end of a tag. <tag>..</tag>.

:)

Now, learn that. Then once your done you can learn how to introduce images, CSS (colors, font, sizes) and more like Flash Applets, etc.

It's not hard but the basics of HTML and web page designing starts as you see above.

Good luck!

You should expect not to make enough money to repay you for your time.

You can use hosting with unlimited domains, revenues depend on how you plan to monetize it. Some methods are not very reliable based on my experience.
