Default content for website when you don't have a product yet?

I have a couple of muses that I'm researching and am having my brother in law design a website for the LLC I just formed. I thought it would serve a few functions: 1. giving me a business email to use while contacting companies, manufacturers, advertisers, etc. 2. giving the other businesses I contact with a more professional appearance 3. once i get to the testing phase, giving me a site to dry test my product in addition to ebay & such.

right now, while I'm still researching product to resell/manufacture, what should I have on my site? what's going to look professional and impressive without looking like I'm trying too hard to look professional and impressive?

You probably just need a business card type landing page for now. Simply contact information and a contact form.

Don't have anything. Once you find a product, you can test it really quickly with dropshipping and what not, at virtually no cost to you other than the cost of running the website.
Also maybe contact several drop-shippers and request product info, like photos and sales copy and put it up with a mock sign up form to see if people are willing to buy.
