I tend to go with the skills I have, I'm no artist but have a good sense of layout, useability and accessability so usually start with in this direction:

Good long chat with all involved.
Prototype design
site map
xhtml markup
css
Programming

Some of that is in the wrong order to how it /should/ be but the clients I deal with don't usually have a clue untill they see something on-screen so to get the ball rolling I do some prototyping and take it from there.

My designs tend toward simple, as my art skills are rather basic: It's the programming and css layouts that get me going :-)
