LLC
Are online websites such as Legalzoom or my company recommended to start my LLC or is there a better way to go about it?

There are well reasoned articles by attorneys around the United States which explain that the ideal scenario would be to have a local attorney walk through your particular business plan to determine your best course of action and to draft what you need. Generally speaking, documents you may find from online services often lack important clauses that can help shift burdens and costs down the line. Invest in yourself, at least get a free consultation with a local attorney.
