When I first started out publishing e-books. I found it hard to know where to start. I usually had to go to various websites to gleam the information needed.
What was most frustrating was trying to design a cover fr my e-book. I tried various free online websites, but I found most of them were hard to use or lack the flexibility in how you wanted to layout your cover. For instance on doing a quick search, this website came up. On a quick look I found it was a little hard to follow.
They are selling a full version on a monthly basis and they do offer a free version. I find with free version they do not give the freedom to design as you want.
However I found an excellent solution to his problem. Everyone has a camera of one sort or another. Everyone has Microsoft office. In Microsoft office you have the publisher which allows to create leaflets and documents. I found that taking a photo which you have taken yourself and adding it to a blank page on publisher, then add a text box is just as easier than spending hours on the Internet looking for a cover maker. Especially if you are just starting out, I find using publisher as the cheapest and easiest option.
