Hi guys, if someone read my presentation I have tons of doubts about web-design, here it's a non exploited bussiness, most websites are donde by their own owners, no need to hire a web-designer. Here the webmasters are a little bit designers, programmers, moderators. So, I know I can do cool websites, but, for some reason I think I make some mistakes and maybe you can correct me.

I never sketch a website, 'cause, I don't know, I just sit in the computer and start to work in the layout. Maybe that's a big mistake.
Software I use: Dreamweaver 8, Corel Draw 12, Photoshop 7.0 and some other tools like Flash, Fireworks, etc. Maybe you could suggest me some other tools for PC wich are great.

I wish to know what are the common steps to make a website, for example, now I must do a re-design of this website : http://www.unification.com.ar , the original design is made by his own owner, but he already seen some of my posters and work and he's interested in make a brand new website. The site is about a cd/t-shirts/merch from underground bands, he's not making money from this, he just sell stuff and send money to the bands. If you have this task, what would be the steps to follow to make a stunning website?.

I hope be clear.

Regards.
