To develop a project from nothing almost sounds like God creating life. Before "creating" a project, some work must have been done in advance to ensure that the service or product that the project will deliver are backed up by a business case, business need... and draft a project charter that will, project sponsor allowing, grant you the resources needed to kick it off.
On the other hand, if what you meant is to go straight to a schedule with the typical activities that are contained in a Website development project, then a quick Google search should provide plenty of templates to help you on that matter.

Like Eduard eluded too, you cannot create something from nothing. What is the need? Okay, great, a website. What kind of website? Who is your audience? Etc. Whether that is an official business case or some ideas jotted down on a napkin, there has to be a 'why' to then be supported by the 'what'. Then you go into the 'how'.
Like previous comments for our colleagues.
Do you have a business case? what is the reason and benefits
get approval
Then the project charter, define the project (what, when, how...)
get approval
start the project with plans, all the plans that are needed

If you mean from scratch then:
1.Is the project a go? With an idea of what's needed from the business.
2. Were you provided resources and services for the initiative?
3. Start times, deadlines given? Stakeholders acquired?
4. Are you equipped to manage the project?
If you answered yes to the above, then
5. Start a Project Charter Proposal to see it in the flesh and present it to your stakeholders in order to start the implementation process and team effectiveness. Saving Changes...
Without offending anyone, I would say, first hire a PMP certified professional, if you dont have one :-)... very important basic criteria..
Beyond that, I agree to what Vincent has rightly mentioned (business case, scope definition etc.). If you have templates available, that would be next step.
However, sometimes, the PMs do have to create a project plan (timeline) from scratch, by referring to the scope document and bringing CFT members (developers, testers, BAs, etc. in your case) - to define a network diagram and scenarios - in a workshop type environment. Key advantage is that you already have a buy-in from the team when there input is used to make the plan. At the same time, the risk is, if you do not have key team members with Subject Matter Expertise, you may miss to include a critical task - in the absence of a pre-defined template input for the website development.
