What are your steps for building a website?
Every web designer/developer has their own personal way of developing a website.
Here's my personal preference:
Pretending that I already talk to client. What I do is create Phases.
Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4, and sometimes Phase 5
Phase 1 is planning. I do the research, planning, and etc.. I write down, print, and do everything to learn about the industry.
Phase 2 is executing. This is where I start building the site. I apply all that I plan
Phase 3 is testing. Making sure that the links are ok. Making sure that it works with different browser and etc...
Phase 4 is marketing. This is where I do the Search Engine Optimization. Submit it to Search Engines, Directories and etc....
On the side note: Each Phases has their own steps as well. I just didn't put the details because it will be longer.
So What's your steps?

Step 1: Discuss the different design options with my business partner. This includes looking at any websites that the client wrote down on our website planning worksheet.
Step 2: My partner generates a rough draft of the website as an image.
Step 3: I create a much cleaner and sharper version of the image.
Step 4: I create an HTML page using CSS to implement the design, simultaneously checking both Firefox and IE for any display issues.
Step 5: Fill in content, ensuring everything is coded properly for SEO.
Step 6a: Meet with client to look over site. Take any suggestions at this point.
Step 6b: If there were any suggestions, implement if needed and meet with client again.
Step 7: Upload and submit to search engines.

I don't do a whole lot of websites these days but I think this applies to the multimedia work I do to:
Of course, if this was a freelance job I'd be getting paid a few points in that list too
