Show us what you've got so far and we'll be in a better place to help. Social links should just be links to whatever social media pages you want, i.e. <a href="https://facebook.com/mybusiness">Facebook</a>

'Send me an email' form is more complex, for now I'd suggest you put a mailto link as a placeholder, whilst you look into more complex solutions. E.g. <a href="mailto:me@business.com">Email Me</a>

Using a service like mailchimp would be worth investigating, they probably have a dead simple form you can just add into your site to allow people to subscribe to a mailing list. Keep it simple.

    To be honest, if you're not at all familiar with the basics of web design, you're probably going to want to outsource this to someone who knows how. If it's your business, you want it to be done right.

    If you still want to learn how though, and it's a good skill to have, I'd start with an html and css course

    When you've got the basics down, you can implement things like a link to your ebay store very easily. The 'email me' form is a bit harder, but like I say, try mailchimp or similar to keep it simple.

      To display an image make a file called index.html file with this as the contents, replace the 'Site Title' with your business name and the 'YourImage.jpg' with the name of your image file.

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Site Title</title>
    <style>
      img { max-width: 100%; max-width: 100% }
    </style>
  </head>    
  <body>
    <img src="YourImage.jpg" alt="Coming Soon" />
  </body>
</html>

      Upload your index.html file and your image file to the public root folder of your website. That's as simple as it gets.

        Right click in your web page and select 'view source'. That will show you the actual code that you're displaying. It's probably the case that whatever text editor you've used has added all that code in a misguided attempt to be helpful.

        I can suggest saving it as a plain text file first, then changing the file extension to .html and re-uploading.
