When you first login, you'll be asked to fill out your game profile. Afterwards, you'll be brought to your main island screen - this is where you'll begin your game. You are initially given a small amount of resources (gold, stone, and lumber) to start - these can be used to start your island construction. Click on "Main House" and a screen with a list of possible construction projects appear. You can choose to upgrade existing structures or build new ones. The materials required and the time it will take to complete the project are listed below the name. Click on the "Upgrade" or "Build" links to the right of the project to begin construction. Green links mean you have enough resources to begin the project; those listed in red require additional materials before you may begin.
What to expand first?
This is a good question. Starting by building and upgrading your gold mine, stone quarry, and lumber mill is a widely advocated strategy. This will allow you to increase the rate of production of your resources and allow you to build other items more quickly. At some point, you should build a stone wall and upgrade your main house; however, you typically have a period of time in the beginning to build up your resources before you need to worry about others attacking and plundering your island (as you usually are surrounded by other new players initially and attacking new players is generally frowned upon). After this, there are many strategies that can be effective. Whether you acquire further resources through means of warfare, trade or simply by a further expansion of an existing building is entirely up to you.
