How high your web site is going to be in the page rankings may depend on high your standards are when it comes to 1) thinking big and 2) creating a sleek and functional site that really user friendly. This is because link partners (the kind that will trade a link with you so that you can rise in the search engine rankings) really do look for your potential to expand before they will consider trading with you. Functionality is important because they do not want their own success associated with a web site that may fail them by breaking down. Ultimately SEO is all about your personal credibility and that is expressed by the excellence of your website design.
Basically there are two types of sites that you can create, a simple ecommerce site or its monstrous sister on steroids - the ecommunity information based site. The problem with the latter is usually you have to find a place to park the enormous database that comes with the creation of a site that is both community and information based. This means purchasing a lot of software. If you are a complete newbie, I suggest you build a simple ecommerce site first and then investigate the wonderful world of databases a little later in your entrepreneurial career.
As you are just a newbie when it comes to making money on the Internet, it is probably not practical or viable for you to assign the design of your first e-commerce site out to an independent contractor who is reputable. The good news for newbies is that there are tons of cost effective s ways for you to build your own site even if you have little or no technical expertise. Many of the online site builders are so efficient that you don't need any knowledge of HTML or graphic design to get it up and running. Even the most pathetic of technopeasants can have a site up and running within 72 hours using today's site builders.
