Is there a piece of software that I can map and plan a website with before I present it to a designer?

Question

Like a tree/spider diagram where I can head the pages and then have the branches coming off etc... Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Powerpoint and microsoft word does that now.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what "Flash Dreamweaver" is (haydn). But If you are familiar with Adobe Flash 8 or the older Macromedia Flash MX, either would be a great program to make a nice presentation in. You can either video capture or screenshot your design, import it into Flash, then apply some nice animations, extras, etc.



Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You can use the Tree Diagram option in Microsoft Visio, and I believe there is an option to make the same diagram in PowerPoint.



Hope this helps

Best Wishes

Answer 4

The Designer doesn't need that much detail.



Do your page mock-ups in Word / Open Office. Just show the navigation on each page.



TIP: I prefer to use a single row Table for my buttons, that I can paste to each new page.

Answer 5

When i started some ICT work i was prompted to visit

http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page



for a free program used to make brainstorms/mind maps/spider diagrams (whatever's politically correct). And i have to say, for a free program, it's really good.



And if you don't like that then there is always:
