Wireframe it!

I can't tell you enough. Never start a project without a wireframe. This will help you not only on defining your intial layout, but also in getting the right dimensions for your graphical interface.

I am currently working on a million dollar deal right now. The client wanted to see different layouts, after several emails, I decided to show them wireframes. I explained that a wireframe is more efficient as it allows them to see and decide on a layout without worrying about graphics.

Graphical elements are more precise and required more decisions, but having a wireframe allows the client to envision what their site will look like.

Think about it, you wouldn't go ahead and built a house without a blue print. The same applies to a Web site, consider a wireframe to be the blue print of your site.
