I agree with all the suggestions given above. Pre-calculate > Plan > Budget >
Buy a domain and a hosting, I presonally prefer BigRock or Hostgator. You can make your website by using wordpress (my recommendation) or joomla. Wordpress is free and you can find it very easy to start with.

Hi Lynn,
I have given the below suggestion for another question raised in MosaicHUB. Hope it will be useful.
The first thing you should finalize basic keywords which are relevant to your product / service / concept. Having website is not a deal. Because what great information can you provide, if you don’t know how to increase Search Engine Visibility of Your Website? World Statistics illustrate that the majority Search Engine Visitors do not go beyond the First Page of Search engines; some still looks only for first top 5 results. Imagine, what if your website to be on top Search Engine Ranking for competitive keywords in an alcove a good number businesses would vision of?
So you will know how many URLs are required for your website. Optimize all your URLs by the help of some best SEO Expert (refer my web URL http://seo-expertz.com/top-best-seo-company-in-bangalore-seo-company.html). Another important thing you have to implement is Landing Page of your website should be attractive and informative when the visitors want to view your website. As Mr. Mark Adams said make sure that Google Webmaster tool and Google Analytic are set up will be Tracking progress which is a key part of overall SEO. Next important Technic is Off Page SEO (Backlinking, SMM and etc.) which will be done with the help of SEO Specialists or Link Builders.

Some options:
. Have a Facebook presence, start a fan page and offer useful information. You can do that right away.
. Have a simple wordpress.com (vs wordpress.org) web site. It's free and you can post useful information. You set that up fairly quickly.
. Have a social media presence on platforms that prospective customer use, e.g. Pinterest.
I agree with others about having a biz plan but it's important to just get started and not fret about the plan. Do have a good name and try to reserve a good URL. Whois.com for example shows that weddingplanner.buzz is available and you can reserve that right away online.
It may be better to get started and get some interactive experience right away than to spend a lot of time and money into building a big web site. Most of your marketing will be done through word of mouth and references, so use your knowledge to offer useful content to prospective customers. Lots of good information from others, digest it all, choose for yourself and carpe diem!

You got so many great answers, from a lot of perspectives: business planning, marketing, IT, etc. I'm going to add that I'm sure there is a lot of competition everywhere, but most people forget to actually look what questions the visitors have when they come to the site, and that can be an important plus to your site. Anxious brides must have a million questions, right?
Anyway, I'm guessing that putting all this information together might lead to an anxious wedding planner too. If you want to chat, I'd be happy to help you with the brainstorming for free. Just follow me and we can email or chat over Skype.

Hi Lynn,
You are having such an interesting theme to start with. Here are the different things that needs to get done perfectly so that you can start your website without any problem:-
1) First you need to develop a business model where you can make a blue print of your website.
2) The second step is choosing a domain. While paying for domain, just check if they provide full security to your website. There are lot of domain hosting websites that provide domain hosting in just $1 but there is no security in getting domain hosting services from such companies.
3)As you are planning for wedding planner business, you can go with custom CMS services.
4) After website is developed it need s a good UX analysis to check if it is providing good user experience to the users or not.
5) after that , it goes to optimization phase, where website is optimized for search engines queries to make website rank well in search engines to generate good traffic and conversions.
Do let me know if you need any help.
