  1. Read What should a developer know before building a public web site?
  2. Define and document scope
  3. Define and document functional requirements
  4. Look for existing solutions - if you can leverage a CMS or eCommerce package you can save a lot of development time
  5. Design database (ER Diagram)
  6. Design website structure (sections, links, navigation)
