RE: Sanitary Lift Station for a Subdivision
What kind of station? Submersible, Self-Priming, Wetwell/drywell?
What will your inflows be or what will your population equivalent be?
What are your wetwell influent line elevations and your discharge elevations and any high point elevations along the forcemain route? What is the distance from your lift station to the point of discharge?
Lots of things to know before you can start a design.
I haven't seen much on-line; but, several pump manufacturers have design guides to help. Give more info and we can try to help or best to contact a local firm that does this kind of work. Not good to put $100K+ into the ground only to find it doesn't work.

Then you will need that state's design standards. In PA, it is "Domestic Wastewater Facilities Manual (DEP 1357)". It is free in .pdf, search under:
http://www.dep.state.pa.us
The PA ones are general enough to get started, but use your state's.
Now for site4 specific equipment/materials/construction: If it will ultimately become publicly owned, the Municipal Authority will want certain things...in many cases, they will pretty much hand you standard specs, tell you which pumps, auto-dialers and generators they want and might give you a set of plans to go by.
