My web development process:

• Write HTML
• Write layout CSS
• Write JavaScript from example
• JavaScript doesn’t work
• Try another Javascript technique
• Repeat from step 3
• Give up, copy code from JavaScript example
• JavaScript doesn’t work
• Give up, copy HTML & CSS from JavaScript example
• Gradually change HTML from example’s to yours, testing frequently
• Tweak JavaScript to your specific project
• Fix tweaks
• Rewrite layout CSS
• Write presentational CSS
• Feel sense of accomplishment, try not to think about all the rest of pages on the site, especially the ways you might have broken the functional ones during this process
• Repeat
