Hi Charles,
It’s great to hear you are thinking about starting up in the adult online community, first off, you’ve come to the correct place, these boards will be invaluable to you as little questions and such pop up, and many people here are happy to answer them or point you in the right direction.
To answer your question thoroughly, we’d actually need a little bit more info, but I’ll do the best with what you’ve given us so far. First off you mentioned your good with photoshop so that’s a plus. You also said you produce your own stuff, so (exclusive material) that’s also a plus.
What you will need, website design, You may be able to do this being that you are good with photoshop, if you have any web programming skills you’ll be set on that end with a good WYSIWYG editor i.e (dreamweaver) if not you can hire a programmer, there are many out there just google around for webmasters or webdesigners. Freelancer is a good place to start.
Next is hosting, You need a place to put that new pretty site you’ve developed and make it available for everyone to see. We are a hosting company, we charge a monthly fee and in exchange provide you storage for your site, data transfer (how much data can be downloaded from your site) and tech support should any problems arise with the server you are hosted on. We can pretty much find a plan to match anyones needs and budget, our plans start at $8.95 a month. You can call us and we’d be happy to find something within your means. Just some of what we offer.

The final basic thing you will need is a payment processor if you are deciding to charge a monthly membership, or something similar. You did not mention if you planned on doing this or not but if you are, a good place to start is ccbill, Many of our clients use them and are quite happy.
I hope I have answered most of the questions you had, and if you have any others please feel free to reply on this board and someone will be able to help you out. Good luck with your site and we hope to hear from you.
