Creating a simple site in Sitecore

I am newbie to the new Sitecore 8. I have successfully done the Sitecore 8 installation. Could anyone please give me some instructions and steps on how to create a site from scratch in the new Sitecore 8.

Once I am able to create a site with one simple page, I'd like to add an option for me to incorporate a web user controls or some components (Web Forms for Marketers - WFFM) to that simple page.

Please reply.

Thank you. Sid
