What is the best/most common way to create a website for a business? I would like to do the programming my self, and I don't want to do something like wordpress given the lack of full control. I've tried googling answers to this but all I find is sites recommending Wix or Wordpress. I've used Visual Studio in the past for ASP.NET, but I'd like to hear from someone with more knowledge.
My goal is to make a site would involve users being able to sign up and post results they have found, and although it sounds like something a cookie cuter forum model could handle there are some features that I don't see being able to handled by things like Wordpress or Wix.

Not sure where you got this information from, but with a wordpress.org site, you can add or delete anything you want from a wordpress theme. All you need to do is create a child theme based on the parent theme you select and you can edit the child theme to your liking.
For more info, check this out creatingchildthemes
If you haven't installed WordPress yet, I made an easy tutorial marvelmoe.com/wordpress
One way you can do this is to make it on GitHub, by creating a repository and coding it there. Then,you can get a custom URL from GoDaddy. Then you will have a site. This is what I did to make my site, and it worked perfectly.

I've been wanting to make a website but I wanted to code it myself without using one of those website makers. Are there any ways of doing this? I would also like to publish it as well. Thanks.
1.Write your code and save it.
2.Purchase a domain and host it with ehost or something like that.
3.Upload your file. That's it.
[ehost provide hosting with free domain]
This is not technically an appropriate question for SO. However, you need to learn the basics of HTML. Start at W3 Schools. http://www.w3schools.com
You mentioned that you already know HTML. If you are just making static content, that will suffice. I strongly recommend learning CSS. While it is not technically necessary, it will make your life much easier. When you want to publish it, you will have to pay for a domain and a hosting service. Google Domains can help you with this.

I recently created a webpage for my using the Codepen online editor. I made it responsive and have everything in place to migrate it to my Wordpress page.
The only problem is I'm not sure how to migrate pure html/css to Wordpress. It seems by it's nature that Wordpress is structured around themes.
What suggestions do you have for migrating the code over so it works in Wordpress?
Also, since most of the coding I do is by hand (not using themes) is Wordpress the best site to use?
If that's ALL the site, then there's not much point in using wordpress - just make it static.
If you want to expand it later and think you'll need a CMS's data management tools, with Wordpress you will have to create a theme. But the bare minimum for that is only a index.php (put your code there) and a style.css (for the stylesheet, obviously).
Just make sure to also add the head markup to your site and you're good to go.
Any time you add a database -- wordpress, joomla or other -- you're slowing things down. If you're expecting to be managing over 50 pages, that's a good trade-off, but if not, you're probably not making use of the best parts of wordpress.
One thing with Codepen: It has a few helpers -- autoprefixer, normalizer, maybe you're using Sass? Built-in helpers. Make sure they are compiled into your final CSS/HTML.

So I'm working on producing my own version of a web/db project my friend was given in school. This is my first project in either area and I'm still learning. Part of the project description mentions all of the pages the client wants. I'm solving this by making an unordered list of links to the different pages with appropriate labels. Complex, I know.
Then I realized that every page will have this. My question is this: is there a way to class certain portions of code in html, so I can just have a "navigation list" in each page, instead of the full code of the list and everything associated with it, in every page?
I want the code to be clean and efficient. That's my motivation in this question.
Your question provides little detail, but it sounds like you want something like a php include. If you are running your site on your local, change the .html files to .php and do <?php include('includes/navigation.php') ?> where includes/navigation.php is a path to JUST your navigation code.
What you are talking about is templates. You cannot do it in plain html... You would need to use a server side language like php. You could also do it with a JavaScript templating language like handlebars or similar, but not in plain html.
If you don't want to use PHP or some other server side technology for a simple menu, you can try various Javascript plugins like MenuCool.

I'm going to create a super-simple, one-page, site. It will have text and images and links on it, that's all.
No code, either C# or jQuery or anything else - just some HTML (and minimal CSS).
I created mockups of the site (page) using VS 2013 by selecting New > Project > Web Site > ASP.NET and then each of the following, in turn:
Empty Page
SPA
Web Forms
For the first two, I added an HTML page and copied my HTML and CSS and ran it. It works fine.
For the last option (Web Forms), the difference was that there was already a page (Default.aspx). I replaced the existing HTML in there with mine (and my CSS). It also works fine.
I plan on publishing it to/with/as an Azure web site. I assume I can do this with any of these project types.
The Web Forms adds a bunch of stuff I don't need or use, so I imagine one of the other two would be my best bet. Is there any reason why I would select one project type over the others for a simple page like this?
If it's a static site and you know what HTML/CSS you want to use, your best bet with Visual Studio is to use the Empty Page template.

I want to enable comments (like in any regular blog) but the site is static. How should I do it?
Is there a service to "host" comments (like imgur for comments for example)?
Disqus is a great option, and depending on the type of site Facebook Comments can make a lot of sense as well. Both will work on a totally static site.
Disqus is almost exactly what you're looking for. They give you a little snippet and it embeds a commenting system in your page. Used by about half of Tumblr and big sites like Engadget.
To gather all options:
Juvia is an open source alternative to Disqus. The problem is, you would need a server to host it yourself and the development seems to be stuck.
Disqus is very popular.
Facebook Comments integrates well with that social network. But it requires people to have a Facebook account.
Check out Isso, self-hosted and open source.
Web site: https://posativ.org/isso/
Github: https://github.com/posativ/isso/
Even though Disqus is a good answer to the question, I also suggest the service Muut. They give you a snippet to include on every page to embed a commenting system. It seems to be a lighter option though.
