Answer 1

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)
7. Design page layout - wireframe tools or even paper/pencil are useful for this
8. Design application structure - high level class structure
9. Identify libraries and frameworks, e.g., Doctrine, Zend, CodeIgnitor, etc
10. Technical design decisions - naming conventions, logging strategy, exception handling
11. Testing Plan
12. Implementation Plan
