A simple online business setup usually starts with three questions: What will your business be called online? Where will customers learn about you? How will they buy or contact you?

1. Domain: a branded web address helps customers find and recognize your business.

2. Website: your core pages should explain what you offer, who it is for, and what the customer should do next.

3. Ecommerce: if customers need to buy products online, use a store setup that supports checkout, products, and order handling.

Keep the first version simple. A clear offer, clear next step, and working checkout or inquiry path are more valuable than a crowded technology stack.
