well id say:

Identify the clients/your needs of the website
Identify the best ways of meeting these needs, eg tables, frames, images, text, etc...
Make a design for the website
Finalise the design with meetings with the client
Create a prototype
Modify if needed
Create the real thing
Test it
Evaluate/maintain

I realise that if you were really making a website you might not do all of this, ive never planned anything in my life but there ya go! When ive had to go websites in college these are basically the steps we follow to get the marks, it never works that way but we have to show "evidence" that we did all of that. So take or leave what you want from my little list!

shadowx pretty much covered pretty much hte major idea's for creating a site, but to make another addition see what other websites that doing the same thing and see what you can do to make them better. Another area that you would have to cover would be advertising, see which sites you can advertise with that are similar to yours and thus provide a broader resource for subject matter. Who knows you may have one subject that doesn't cover everything and the other site might so it's a catch-22 on that when advertising one site you have to make sure they are advertising you as well.

Another thing you have to do as well and you should get use to it and that is validating the code so your website will run smoothly without the browsers running quirks mode on it and ruining the design in small ways. Also another thing you have to do as well is set up SEO to your site so you can get it properly index into search for people to find which includes keywords, description and other meta related items. Another thing you have to look for is web hosting of course, which hosting plan suits your needs and of course what they have to offer in order for you to get your site going, so I would say the order would look something like this:

-Identify the Type of site you want to make
-Identify the web hosting provider
-What do you plan to have on the site
-Design the prototype and adjust accordingly
-Validate the coding to make sure nothing will go wrong on the browser
-Upload the site to the provider and then adjust anything you need to
-Once Site goes online submit it to search engines
-Set up advertising with other sites
-Then Maintain the site.

I think there is a few other things but make any additions to the lists that posters see fit.

Well, I usually just do it however it goes...But it sounds like it's for college work, so I'll try and think of something:
First would be to come up with the idea for a website
Next I guess could be coming up with what information would be on there
Then making a plan of the layout
Probably actually making the layout would be next
Then adding the information
And then probably finalizing/testing

That's something similar to what I'd do

Steps of making website:

*Make blank html document
*Recommended - write code, not use graphic editor
*Define page title, charset, put your meta tags (Optional)
*Background (some color or image)
*Define where is a top, navigation, main place, bottom for signature
*When design of template is over, re count your website (ex. index.html, about.html, contact.html - now copy template 3 times, and rename it)
*Define hyperlink on all pages to connect it between.
*When making site is over-Test on your computer
*If is test on your computer all right, find some hosting to put page on internet

that probably is the best method to go about it.

Generalizations are exactly what a newbie needs to hear (in the beginning).

But once, you crawl out of the overview, the devil is in the details.

To build a fully functional website requires several skill sets. And you could spend an entire lifetime, hanging out in any one corner of any of these individually required talents.

Advertising… Exactly where do you advertise?

Computer/ business advertising and marketing / financial terminology…all impediments without specific, meaningful guidance and clear definitions. (How many varied definitions of blog have you heard?)

Collecting money from the site to support a profitable website… where do you go and how do you set up an account (Penpal, for example)?

Individual attention from domain experts… where is the point of access?

I’m starting to get the hang of hopping and bopping around Trap 17. I think that the site could be more newbie user friendly, but it's a very organized site. Trap 17 handles a very complex, input / output traffic structure. But, personally, I operate with a works / works better system of thought.

There is an innocent, but consistent tendency for experts to assume the rudiments. This universal assumption is the sponsor of a technologically advanced agenda for extinction.

(I’m not talking about the arrogant know-it-alls, who derive great pleasure by creating insurmountable linguistic obstacles and confusion. Trap 17 doesn't appear to have any of those creatures lurking about.)

The fundamental steps from A – Z are the difference between a newbie succeeding or failing. There is a group of specific, physical actions required to set up a website. Sure, there are variations. That is why block diagrams were invented.

Floundering about (rediscovering the light bulb) trying to pry knowledge from people, who truly believe that they become less, if you become more is Medieval. (And I'm not talking knights in shinig armor)

I think that real life has enough challenges without having others pile on egotistical and contrived workloads... or am I wrong?[size="3"][/size]

The things that you need to know about in building a website are as following:

-What is the topic of your website
-Who is the website for
-How many people are going to help you
-if more than you then what are their jobs
-What is the deadline
-What languages you are going to use
-what programs you are going to use
-now just start creating it

Great websites that give you information on how to build website is www.w3schools.com. or you can just google it an you will certainly find many different websites that will offer you valuable information.

1. Think about the idea of the website.
2. Get write a plan about how the site must be constructed and how it will function.
3. Get a good theme / make a theme using graphics edit software like Photoshop. Write the HTML part.
4. Go fill it up with information and stuff
5.(recommendation) Install a forum along with your website. It will help your community grow and review your work.

First you'd want to learn HTML. Whether you put graphics in your first site or not doesn't matter. After that learn CSS and possible pick up on photoshop. If you want a flexible site learn a scripting language.
