How to Plan a Website

With all the preliminary questions I receive on 2 Create a Website, I decided to create a site that discusses all the things you need to know and understand before you begin creating a website or blog.

Planning a website is important, especially if you want to make money. Never jump into this without doing your homework.

If this is your first website, the process may seem overwhelming. You're probably wondering things like...

1) How much will this cost?

2) Do I have the necessary skills?

3) What about copyright laws?

4) Do I need a blog and a website and/or which is better?

5) Do I have to pay taxes on money I make?

All of these questions and much more will be answered on this site. In fact, if you want to learn more about why I created this site check the About page.

I cannot emphasize this enough. Before you take the plunge and start your first site or blog, make sure you spend some time here gathering the facts. Don't rush over to 2 Create a Website to begin your site until you've read everything here.
