of course. Start with a piece of paper and do a high level plan of the main goals/sections of the site. I find it helpful to use persona/role-driven design here. Once i have the main goals, then I develop the home page for a role inside Photoshop. I then develop an inner page. Once i have that, I move on to [web language of choice (i.e. php/asp.net)] and develop a few templates. Then I develop the home page and the inner pages using pure html (no database). Once I'm happy there, I move on to DB stuff nad oo-level stuff to support it. I did all of http://www.learnsqlserver.com/ http://www.learnsqlserver.com/, http://www.learnitfirst.com/ http://www.learnitfirst.com/ and http://www.videobooks.com/ http://www.videobooks.com/ sites by myself. It took a while but so what? I'm proud of the fact that I did it and I learned so much along the way.
