    Research, research, research. Sorry for such a vague answer, but you need to do a ton of research (measured in MONTHS), and many webmasters neglect this. If I really had to give an answer, Id say php and yes.

    I'm with pacerfan... its better to do the minimum research needed and jump ahead with your plans.

    Know your market before you create a product/service, which is better than creating a product and then hunting a market.

    I agree, you need to start off with a business plan and market research. Your business won't last long without any of the two

    Food can work.. although what type of food? As you need to figure out which type is the best and the cost, etc..

    this works on facebook because they already have users, there is no incentive to send someone a digital drink when only they will see it.

    I meant it as both but yeah, it can be a pretty good idea. Lots of people want websites and don't know how to make them. Go for it and toss me a rep :)
