It's easy! Just follow this FREE simple 10 step process:
1) Phone call / email / rough brief
2) initial ideas / meeting / sign contract / go through brief
3) polish design and direction create pdf and send for approval/
4) developmental planning, CMS, flash etc, structure for site/
5) Xhtml/ CSS / JS of each page layout
6) create/ customise cms / populate with content
7) intregrate stage 5 into 6 with 'templates' or whatever
8) test it
9) transfer to live domain
10) test it again/(p.s. never forget that your a rockstar designer)

That's all there's to it.

That's like asking what the ideal way is to become a good husband or wife. At the risk of sounding like a dismissive asshole, this is a matter of experience and common sense more than anything else.

I pretty much follow the same steps as Jysta.

Or what jysta said, but I would get the contract taken care of before even jotting down a single concept. Where I work, people hire us because of our reputation and/or they like the level of quality shown in our previous work. The "initial ideas" part of no. 2 is a slippery slope that could lead to spec work, imho.
- it's more like asking what the ideal husband wife relationship would be for you. pretty answerable me thinks._salisae_

Sorry guys, i think the question has been lost in translation a little....
I was wondering about your ideal design methodology you follow... For example 1) Scope&requirements 2) Concept&Design 3) Production&Development and what are the steps you ideally take in each of the these areas....
- dcs7870
and i was also intrigue about how this process changes dependant on the style of the project... for example if you had a brand job, a web project and a print job...

although as usual most of the responses are gobbledygook! Jevad,,, did you find the answer you were looking for or any other handy resources for this...?

Seriously though - I think it is really down to finding the right process that works for the size and type of team/environment that you have.
It was really helpful reading everyone's comments, but what really helped was a simple phase of trial and error, which led to a keen understanding of what was realistically going to work for us.

objective objective objective...you're a designer, not an artist, always have your objective in mind, no matter it's your personal portfolio, or from a client, design is not for your own sake, design is to communicate...with your audiences...

design is not so high up the artistic ladder as some of you would like it to be.
