    Here's part of the process I use that you may find useful. Identify the main and most important tasks a user would want to accomplish when visiting the site, for a site like this I'd guess it to be from 5-10 main tasks. For each task go through what I call a click through: start with "Opens web page" and figure out what the user has to do to get through each task. Like:

    User scrolls to position x
    User clicks on link y
    User locates item z
    User clicks on picture | label | icon

    Work this out in detail for each task. If tasks overlap, find a way to combine them. If a task seems overly complicated, simplify it. Try to experience it from the users point of view. You'll get a clearer picture of how well your site works.
