Hmmm these are very basic questions and should take a lot of time to explain. All depends on what you have and what you want. If I were you, I would start with building the database. So you know what tabels you have, and the fields you need. Then you can start thinking about your website structure and how you to implement the models. Start reading about how to setup a zend framework website. And while you're reading, think about your website, what you can use and how you can do it.
Another remark. Is it really usefull to setup an zend-based website if you're only having 2 or 3 tabels? If you have your tabels, and maybe an idea about your models, you can post it here, than we maybe can help you on the track. But like I said, it's impossible to teach you here how to program.
