Answer Hi Allen.
Question 1:
There are lots of things to consider when contemplating setting up a web site - far too many to mention here.
My answer would be predicated on this question. "Why do you want to start a web site?"
If you're starting a website to share recipes, my answer would be far different than if you wanted to start one for a money-making endeavor.
My initial advice in any case, would be to determine your skill set. Find a free provider of web space and practice setting up a few pages. After a little practice, you'll find out what you need to focus on. Also, you should visit sites related to what you want to do and see if what they're doing looks effective.
Question 2:
Search Engines return results based on your input. If you type "Web Design", you'll likely get a "gazillion" results. Searching for "Web design Murfreesboro TN" your scope of search is sharply focused.
Using the quotation marks will limit results to only that exact phrase. For more help, check out:
