Software for web page planning

[Zlatan]

Hello,
please advise a nice tool for web page planning. It should be used for placing the web page idea and then give it to developer to program.
Thank you;)

Just use the GIMP. Google for some tutorials on this one. BTW, I think I saw a tutorial once where a guy builds a complete webpage using the GIMP, but I can't remember where. Might want to check out YouTube for vids.

Thank you, will try both of them, I think.
Maybe you have ideas for Information Systems planning and design before programming?

the denim tool looks interesting... but my favourite tool for planning and brainstorming ideas and stuff is freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I have a feeling you will LOVE this tool for planning websites... appreciate a 'thank you' for this post if you like it. ;-)

The best and most flexible way of transmitting ideas for a design is called "paper and pencil". Colour helps, but is optional.

For a website layout of pages (not the actually page layout, the entire website), you need a wall or piece of cardboard, sticky notes and a pencil. String is extra, and can help.

Thank you for your ideas, FreeMind looks nice, will try it:) I wonder if it would be able to pre-generate blocks of code...

nono... no code generation from freemind. It's basically a mind mapping tool. Nothing to do with website design or programming (not directly at least). We use it for brain storming sessions. IMHO, its good at structuring ideas.

OK, got it, thank you:)
