There are several stages of web page designing which are  described as follows.

1. The Creative Stage

This is the first stage of web page designing. In this stage author will gather information, decide what subjects and materials to include on the website. During the creative stage author should brainstorm about what s/he want to put on the site, what is the site's goal and who is the target audience. 

2. The planning stage

The next stage is the planning stage. In this stage the author needs to decide where to publish the site, and how to effectively organize it. The planning stage is very important to a site's level of organization. There are few rules, which should always be followed.
