Hi, I am a small shopkeeper in the UK, I am wanting to create a members site for like minded business people like myself.

I would like your help in what software/theme to use to create a members only site.

Should it be paid or free.

Should I go the FB route instead of a website, or not.

I want to create my own products for the site, any advice or tips on what products to create.

I have a free monthly magazine to give away.

All help would be greatfully appreciated, Regards, Mick.
