Wireframe Editors

I've been working on the System Plan for my website, and came across the term "wireframe diagram". I wasn't sure what it was,but on further research, found that it was a diagram of all the functionalities of a website without having to worry about the presentation yet. Apparently, it's a useful tool for web designers, so I decided to go about making one.

I found a very simple to use online application to make the wireframe diagrams called "Mockingbird":

It's a drag and drop application, and you can easily create each page's layout with the existing widgets they provide.
You can also sign up for a free account, which lets you save one project up to ten pages.
After you're done, you can export the diagrams to pdf or png files.

Having created the wireframe diagram, I can see how it is useful in planning for my site. Now I have a much more complete picture of each page in my site, how it should look, how the links ink up, and the functions each page needs to have!
