Hi,

I too am fresh to the vast world of web design. Like anything else in life, it's really just best to take things one-thing-at-a-time.

Follow good study practices for this stuff like taking clear, thorough notes and also by practicing as much as possible and designating good times to design.

Also, try and investigate others' examples and trends as they come and go. One thing that has helped me a lot is using the web developer tools to explore the code/markup of sites I admire and trying to learn new tricks that way.

Have manageable, clear goals for you study and don't attempt to know everything all at once because it's impossible.

Hope this helps!

Max

While memorized steps in a process can be useful, I like to think of them as tools in your arsenal which you can draw upon to solve any problem in your own unique way.

The best way to keep everything in mind is practice your knowledges.

Hi Davide!

If you are trying to remember the different stages of creating a website then I would do it something like this.

1) Write out all of the basic HTML. 2) Style it up with CSS and get it to look how you want. 3) Write any JavaScript if it is needed. 4) Make any final touches that you need to make.

Obviously those steps can vary drastically from site to site and it really depends on how big the project is as well. If you are doing a small project then it is pretty easy to keep everything in mind and remember to do it all. However, on a larger project sometimes you really need to jot things down in note form or even write a todo list.

I hope that I just got the gist of your question right, if I didn't let me know and I will help you further!
