RE: ac diagnoses step by step
More information for us.
Are you comfortable with electrical troubleshooting & repair? Thats the place to start.
Working with the refrigerant system means buying some expensive equipment. More practical to fix (or rule out) electrical problems then take it to a shop.
How do you want to do this? Theres a few people on here that are much better than me with the refrigerant side of things.

Have someone sit in the car and turn the AC on and off, you should see the pulley engage and disengage the compressor. With the car and AC on, both fans should spin.

Other possibilities...
Refrigerant leaked out = pressure switch prevents the compressor from switching on. In that case you need to find& fix the leak.
Electrical problem = lots of possible places. Bad relay, bad switch, loose wiring, etc, etc...
