Hi mate. Localbitcoins.com for your bitcoins, which you can get by doing bank transfers, or trading locally in person, where you pay the trader in cash. they have an online wallet on their site, so that any bitcoins you purchase through them goes into this wallet. However, for maximum security, get an offline wallet.

If you're in the US, go with Blue Sky Traders it's the cheapest and easiest way to get bitcoins. Localbitcoins is good if you're outside the US but it's more expensive because bitcoin sellers always charge a pretty big fee.
