  Hi everyone.

  I would like to start a Q&A site. Users will post questions for me to answer. I need to be the only one who can answer  questions, as well as an overview of what questions haven’t been answered yet. The Q&A is public and there needs to be a search engine, so you can search for answers amongst the allready answered questions, for free.  Furthermore, i will have monthly subscription, for example 5 questions per month for a certain rate, preferably with the possibility to subscribe for longer time (6 monts, 1 year etc.), so only subscribed users user can ask questions.

  I’m totally new to the whole website thing so I need something easily installed and manages – any sugestions on how how to get started? What basic template should i use for my wordspress? What plugins would you recomen?

  Thank you so much in advance!

  Hi there – great detail and such an interesting idea! I recommend starting with a free plan site and exploring how to build and manage a site using the tools our editor offers. Like any new endeavor you should expect a learning curve! We provide some terrific getting started courses to help you see and absorb how it all works.

  Starting simple is best. Along side of learning about how the editor works, study the Form block. It’s the simplest way to ask for participation from visitors to your site, such as asking questions. It may not do exactly what you are needing, but it can help you start moving in that direction.

  Beyond that, what you will need more than anything else is a content strategy, meaning, something that you do that strives to consistently bring viewers and potential future subscribers to your site. Without viewers the idea will never have an opportunity to take root, grow, and flourish. We’ve studied this for a very long time; review this guide to learn from us. This isn’t everything you will need, but this should help get you started. As you continue on your journey, start a new topic here in the forums to get our help. :)
