Building a Personal Web Site

Things to Consider
Who will be responsible to keep things going until it is up and for updating?
What will the site be used for?
Do you want your own domain name so others can find you ?
Will you be using one of the many do it yourself programs? Or will you want to work with a site designer
Who will work with you to have your own unique style and purpose and will more than likely take care of getting your domain setting up on your site with hosting and maintenance included so that all you need worry about is what you would like to see on your site.
