There are thousands of different ways to set up a website with different kinds of coding, visuals and text. Start with the most important elements and then you can leave it or embellish as you wish. A website could be JUST text or images or a combination of both. All will need coding of some sort, whether it be HTML or something more complicated. A website can be just one page or hundreds of pages.
One can save time by making most decisions before you contact a website designer. Take a look at some websites that you like and gather ideas. The functionality of the site is important. The visuals and color can always be changed or added later. Think of your audience. Maybe your website will be best suited to mobile devices rather than a larger screen.
