If you are planning to design a Magento Website then there are some things you have to consider before placing anything to the website.
Firstly you have to decide the complexity of your website, that means you must know whether you require multiple language store, single language store or several independent stores for your Magento installation.
Now you have to consider the theme of your website. Decide whether you need a ready made theme package or you want to design the look of website by yourself.
If you are designing your website by yourself then you need to know about the Magento Design layouts and position & size of the structural blocks in the layout. It is very important to position the content blocks (product listing, navigation, footer tags etc.) properly in the structural blocks.
