use tile map ... so you show like 9x9 tiles, position of tiles and everything is stored in database

use search because such discussion(s) about map making already exist :)

Google: HTML, FTP, free hosting with php, WAMP/LAMP, PHP, MySQL, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX (in that order and learn in that order).
Download: Notepad (actually you have this one :D), WAMP/LAMP, CSS editor, GFX programm.

Download:
 - Notepad++ :)
 - in my opinion you don't need a css editor
 - GFX programm : You could also use some free clipart / pixel art instead to begin with
