I was looking up my web design heroes today and came across this post by Daniel Mall describing his start-to-finish process for creating a website.

I am very happy to say that I have naturally fallen into almost this exact process for the sites I’ve been contracted for lately (I tend to merge steps 2 and 3; the sites I’ve been doing haven’t been very large). It is a huge relief that I seem to be on the right track and thinking the right things on my own, at least from the perspective of one prominent designer in the field.
