    There is alot to consider when starting a website.

    Are you planning on hosting the site yourself, or are you going to use a secondary or freesite, such as tripod, or geocities?

    Are you going to design the site yourself or inlist the help of someone else?

    Are you actually going to sell yourstuff online, or is it merely for informational purposes?

    What's your target audience? older crowd - more mellow - younger crowd - more flashy

    I suggest if you're planning on tackling this yourself you get a web design program such as Microsoft's Frontpage. It's expensive, but well worth the money for the time you save in the developing. If you're adventurous there are tones of free html programming help sites on the web. I've been doing web developing of one type or another for nearly 10 years now (mind you I don't make money at it) and have found you have more power with hand coding, however if you don't have any programming experience that can be confusing.

    I'm including one of my favorite html online guides in the source list.

    Good luck!

    There is a lot more to consider than just the design of the website. I'm a freelancer doing small projects for people like yourselves. I take a slightly long-term view and provide a website where you can update yrself without having to know html or any other web programming language. If you are interested just email me :)

    An LLC has various options on taxes, but with that business and income you'd probably be wise to just pass it through to your personal return. You do need to know though, whether you are an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation), an S-corp or a C-corp, since taxes work differently with each. An S or C-corp must file its own tax return. How the income is treated on your personal return varies.

    Well, the answer is one, HTML.

    If you want easy way, just search visual one,

    like DreamWeaver.

    if you want more complex, you can learn scripting (vb, asp, java).
