I need to do a website for a friend who will pay me on delivery. I took a few courses in ASP.NET and think I can do it in ASP, but I am not sure ASP is free, since its a Microsoft product. Is there a way to use some kind of free version of ASP.NET to develop and sell a website or should I buy it? If it’s not free, what are the free or cheap alternatives to it?
Microsoft offers Visual Web Developer Express for free. It will do pretty much everything you need in terms of developing and testing an asp.net website.

Edit-
The only expense with using ASP.net is the hosting environment. Asp.net typically requires an IIS web server to run. If you are planning on hosting the site yourself this can be a significant investment. If you are using a hosting company windows hosting with Asp.net is typically included at little or no additional charge.
