I am building a website and need some advice?

I am building a website and need some advice? I have done freewebs before, but never my own %26#039;real%26#039; site. I have looked over the options and was planning on going with hostgator or bluehost for hosting. I%26#039;m just not sure what is going to be best for what I am trying to do.

I want to build a business website (not for my breeding business) where:
1. I can have either a forum or Q and A page (or both) where people have to get a user name/password to log in
2. I want to have an online store
3. I want to have a classified section
4. I want a page were people can post photos/information using a format I provide
5. I want a page where people can input information into a %26#039;form%26#039; then send that information to me to create documents using it (this would be a paid service as well)

There are a couple of other things i would like to include as well, but this would get me started. I have unlimited time to devote, but I don%26#039;t want to invest too much money at this point.

Also, I want my site to rank high on Google.

Any ideas?

• Windows live business websites. There is not a website out there for free if you want traffic. You want to be able to create a website that is linked to a search engine like Google. Where key words are typed in a search engine and your site can be found on that search engine or which ever ones your prefer. For a low rate I use Windows Live business. Its located at MSN. It does all the work for me. Allows me to design my website easy and fast. The templates are easy and you can input HTML codes easy too, to add more graphics. You can put anything you want on your website, create your own website name, and all those things you want up there. Hope that helped!
