What's a domain name and how do I get one?
How do I know how many pages I want on my website?

You say I have to do the words on the page, but I'm not very good with words ...
Once my website is built, how does it get onto the Internet?
I only want to sell 1 product so I don't want to pay too much money for a merchant solution
I think I need a shopping cart but it all looks too complicated
Once my website is live, what if I notice something I've missed?
Can I make changes to the website once it's on the Internet?
A domain name is basically the internet address of your site, and is usually in the form www.yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com.au. To get a domain name, you first need to find out whether the domain name is available. For that, you need to go to a domain registrar and do a search to see whether anyone has already bought the domain name you want.
It is then a simple matter of registering the domain name. But I suggest you shop around for the best price. Some registrars charge a lot more money than others! Or, we can help you do this as part of building your website.

A hosting service is a place that actually holds or "hosts" your website. Once your website is built, it needs to be hosted somewhere so that everyone on the Internet can find it. There are many reliable hosting companies who will provide this service for a monthly or annual fee. Once again, I suggest you shop around for the best price. Some hosting companies charge a lot more money than others (and offer a much poorer service)! Or, we can help you do this as part of building your website.

Think about what you want on your website. If you are just letting the world know about your service (and it's a fairly simple service, like towing) and you don't actually want to sell anything online, you may just have one page that says what you do, what areas you cover, and then contact details such as phone and email address. On the other hand, you might be a small company that wants to tell customers about yourself, give them contact information, tell them about your products and/or services, maybe give them some useful information about your product area.
The best thing to do is to have a look at other sites that are similar to what you want to do, and then look to see how many clickable links they have on their home page. Usually, each clickable link is a separate page.

They certainly can be, but there are options available where you don't need to know too much about technology to use one. There are both pay as you go type models (like PayPal's shopping cart), as well as fully hosted shopping carts where you pay a regular monthly fee.
