"please email me directly if you can ....."

Please don`t. This is a discussion forum and many of us on the forums can benefit from seeing the ideas presented.

Look at how your competition does it. I`ve used Vistaprint for years, and one of the SUN members is an online printer (the name escaped me for now, look in the SUN Marketplace).

If you could design a knock your socks off web page in Photoshop, then look at SiteGrinder by Medialab (they advertise regularly in Layers and Photoshop magazines). I`ve never tried it because I think the price is too high. At least for my purposes.

I also agree with vwebworld, you`ll need to first develop your marketing strategy. You`ll want to perform a feasibility study, i.e. a proof of concept. In other words, define your business model...

1) what compelling reason exists for business owners to give you their money? What are the benefits of note pads? Are they branding only? Will they bring a ROI or are they just an expense... investments that produce a return are sold very differently than an expense. Is there a trend that shows an increase in demand for notepads? Check google.com/trends to see if more people are looking for your key words or if there is less interest. Printed marketing collateral is still desireable but many businesses (including many of my clients) are favoring non-print branding solutions in order to cut costs.

2) how will you acquire what you`re selling for at less than it costs to sell it? There is almost alqays a client acquisition cost. It might be the pay-per-click fee that Google will charge you. If so, check out what your competitors are paying at www.keywordspy.com. If you are going to write the pay-per-click ad, you`ll need to know the psychology of your ideal client, and you`ll need to write the add to filter OUT people who are less likely to buy at your price point.

3) What structural insulation do you have from relentless commoditization and a price war? What additional benefits do you provide that your competition does not? You don`t want to just differentiate yourself on price. That is a loosing battle for everyone.

4) how will strangers find out about your business and decide to become clients? Who are your ideal clients, what are their demographics and psychographics? What are their hotbuttons? What key phrases must you have on your website in order for them to say, "Yes, this is what I was looking to accomplish." Focus on benefits, not features or advantages, in your web copy. I`d hire a professional web copywriter who understands that "benefits sell, features and advantages selldom do."

5) have you developed a thorough SWOT analysis (Stregnths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). I train thousands of business owners each year and only one in 100 have a SWOT anaylsis written out and part of their over all strategy. Check out my recent blog posting to learn more about developing a SWOT analysis here: http://andrewbarden.blogspot.com

Hope this helps.

HostGator is a good place to start as they have free templates and software to make sites with and are a reliable web host.

You can also upload free Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal templates.

Here are some resources:

Hi, if you are having some trouble on what is the best web hosting site, then I hope I can help. There are some sites in the web like, drupal.com or joomla.com. But there is a site where they list all top ranking web hosting site. It is www.freewebsitemaker.co.uk, it is a site where they are happy to serve people who want to build their own sites. They will honestly review all the top rank web hosting sites. And I think this ill be the basis of some people on where they will put their own site.
