It's easy to get lost in multiple steps when designing a webpage. At first, I was also looking for a clear roadmap on which stages to tackle first. How should I sequence steps like design concept, creating wireframes, choosing colors and typography, followed by prototyping and testing? Which methodologies (e.g., Agile, Design Thinking) yield more efficient results? Do you recommend any free templates or communities I can follow? I'm curious about the process you follow and any suggestions you might have.
What steps should you prioritize in the web design process?

From my personal experience, the first clear step is to define the website's goal and understand the target audience. I usually start by conducting quick interviews with the client or product team and gathering user requirements because the "why" is important before diving into the "how." Once we have a clear list of core features, I create a user journey map and translate it into low-fidelity wireframes. This structure helps me control the page flow before wasting time on visual details.
After confirming the wireframes, I start selecting colors and fonts based on the brand identity and transform the wireframes into high-fidelity UI designs using Figma or Adobe XD. At this stage, I prefer applying the Design Thinking methodology: define the problem → generate ideas → prototype → quick testing → iterate. Once the final design is ready, I create an interactive prototype and integrate it into Agile sprints for user testing. I then adjust based on feedback and ensure a clean handoff to the development team. In short: goal → user research → wireframes → UI → prototype → testing → delivery, and at each step, I use rapid iteration to reduce risks and improve the final outcome.
