Every story and comment from the Hacker News API, in a layout borrowed from 2001.
A comment on Ask HN: How do you design a website in 2017?.
Next I then go looking for inspiration from websites like
https://www.awwwards.com/ https://dribbble.com/ https://onepagelove.com/
Use that inspiration to figure out a general layout of the site and it's different pages, wireframe that up.
Choose a color palate based on what industry the site is in and other factors.
After that the rest is pretty much details and feedback from the client.
