My wife and I own a small art business for the purpose of selling painting. These are paintings done by my wife.

We feel because of demand and comments that we should now consider the web to sell our art.

How do we start? We already have a registered domain name. We have talked to many people that say they are experts in the design and hosting of webs.

What should we ask the potential designer of our web to determine if he/she are professional or just thieves.

What does one ask to evaluate the competence and integrity of a web designer?

Thank You
