well, to be honest, if you dont know anything about mapping, making a
mod for HL2 is not the best option. you'll be better just trying to
make a decent single level: a mod can take months to make, and longer
if you want it to be professional looking.
the main site for HL2 mapping is http://collective.valve-erc.com/

not at all modding isn't necessarily about complex redesigns of the
game... and those mods which do try to reinvent the wheel are quite
often not the best ones. if the OP is experienced in C++, then it's not
a huge job to get a small, simple mod up and running.

the collective links to alot of editing sites, although I think The
Wavelength deserves particular attention for editing aswell.

Have you installed the SDK through Steam? The SDK contains alot of
documentation written by valve about the source code, modelling, sound
editing, FacePoser, etc..
