1) Decide what you want and start accumulating materials.
2) Of course you can wait on gravel, concrete, electricity, etc, but I wouldn't do the actual structure a bit at a time-- I'd wait until I had the funds to do it all at once. I guess you could wait on the doors and finishing touches, but I'd build the entire shell from start to finish or wait until I could.
3) Any "package" you purchase will have extra "profit" in it for the design and assembly of all things needed for completion. Also, who do you turn to when you are unsure what to do next? Some website? That wouldn't work very good, I'd bet.
I'd go another route:
a) Do you have a good lumberyard near by? Not a Big Box store, but an old-fashioned lumberyard? Tell them your wants and limitations, and they will get you everything you need. They will know the appropriate truss design (snow load), etc. If you want to use rafters instead of trusses, they will tell you what sized boards on how wide of centers your locale needs for snow load, too. Maybe you have utility poles, some used lumber of certain lengths, etc. They will help design something that works with what you have on hand, and as long as you buy the rest of the material from them, they will help you anytime you are stumped/confused how to do something. I have built 5 sheds this way, from large and complicated to small and simple. I also have 4 Morton buildings, and while they are wonderful, they cost A LOT more than the sheds we built ourselves with our local lumberyard's help.
I would strongly recommend you scrap the "bit at a time" idea. My preference for style/design would be a pole building using utility poles if you can find them. A bit of a bummer getting started--using round poles to build square corners-- but once you figure that out it will go up FAST--a metal shed can be done in no time at all once you get the poles and rafters or trusses up.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
