I would suggest you to start with the beginning and to do some homework /
testing. This is especially true if you are planning to sell over the
internet and to collect personal information in the process. Saying that
it
will only be 4 to 5 pages means nothing in this case scenario: the number
of
pages is not a measure of the difficulty of building a commercial web site
(or of building any other interactive web site).
