Database design before starting

Hi,

I would appreciate any help or suggesions on starting with database design for an asp.net site.
I know this question maybe sounds silly but I feel stuck and don't know where to start.

Yours sincerely
AndlaThis is a very broad question.
First of all I suggest you think through what you want to accomplish with your websites, what kind of entities you'll have (eg. customers, products etc) and what properties they'll have (like phonenumber, price etc)
After that you can move forward and think of the possible workflows of your webapplication, eg. purchasing a product (which would result in an order entity, with an address property)

As I said before, your question is kind of vague, hope this helped a bit..|||For some good grounding in relational database design theory have a read of :

If you want more specific help then describe what kind of data you are anticipating or wanting to store in the database and, indeed, what database product you are using.
