    First of all how many people work for this business??

    I would suggest 4 people, each one with different task.

    You need 4 computers, equiped with Windows XP or vista (it doesnt really matter), you will also need a web development tool such as Microsoft frontpage for example. Note that you could also use Notepad if you are really good at programming on the fly.

    You would also need a server that runs windows server 2003. This server would be your Webserver, and every computer will be connected to this server. You are gonna need a router> I would suggest that you connect the router to a switch, and then connect the swith to each station (each computer). You can also connect a printer through the switch if needed. Make sure that you choose a same domain name for your local network. This local domain name will be used in every station. You are gonna need cabling too. Make sure you have enough cabling for the whole set up. Now, you need to configure every machine to connect the network. I suggest you keep a Dynamic TCP/IP configuration on every machine so you wont have any interference.

    Now the next step is to get a domain name ex www.mydomain.com. Make sure you guys work all together on website. I suggest that 2 poeple work on the coding: HTML, JAVA if needed, PHP, and the Database. 1 other person has to work on graphics, he can use tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash, to make the website more alive. The last person will make sure the website is always up to date. He will use FTP to transfert the files.

    Dont forget to mention how much everything is going to cost.

    well i think this is a good start for now....make so more reseaches...you will finf plenty of information on this topic....

    Cheers! :)
