    Hello, everybody!
    I signed up here today and this is my first topic.
    I have worked in some projects, but I`m still a begginer, so I don`t know very well how to proceed, what is good and what is waste of time.
    I would like to know what you do when you start a webdesign project. The steps (and the step`s explanation if possible) from the begining to the end, like layout elaboration, design using a software, slicing, coding... etc.

    The well developed web site's design goes through roughly eight steps in four stages:

    • Preproduction
      • Define the project
      • Define the solution
      • Write the specifications
    • Production
      • Gather content
      • Design and construction
      • Testing, launch and handover
    • Maintenance
    • Evaluation
    Notice that the graphic design and actual coding are done after the real work has been done.

    If you are a programmer, you have to concentrate DB Design, HTML Design & General Customer needs.

    All the best for your new Website.

    Simply:

    - Design your website in Photoshop (as an image)
    - "slice" it to HTML/CSS

    You can find tutorials from websites like CSS-TRICKS.com for that. :)

    That's it.

    :(Design your website in Photoshop (as an image) ?????????

    Please ignore that! It is fine for static vanity pages, but not very appropriate for anything that needs to be flexible, dynamic and maintainable.

    Avoid getting hungup learning toolset, frameworks, and shortcuts, because you will not learn anything that will be helpful over the long term. If you are new to web development, then you need to get very comfortable with HTML, CSS, javascript and at least one server side scripting language. The best way to learn and get up to speed quickly is to experiment, experiment, experiment.

    There will be plenty of time to look at toys and tools after you understand the basics, and the understanding of the basics will let you throw away the crap (about 90% of the stuff you will find on the internet). If you start out by adopting some tool, shortcut, or philosophy, then you will never be able to extend yourself beyond the limits imposed by the tool; and they all impose limits and lack complete flexibility.
