Best free way to create a sitemap? SlickPlan!!
I just started using SlickPlan today (about 30 minutes ago). And I already have created a slick looking 40 page sitemap which I feel could be used for clients or for organization between team members.
SlickPlan is FREE! Just sign up, get the email, click the activation link and you’re ready. Within minutes I was adding pages, sub-pages and all the navigation elements what would be constant. After you are done you have several options to export. Continue Reading
Wire-Framing, free online tools to organize your project
Most small websites do not need someone to do web architecture and wire-framing exercises to help get to the final product, a fully functioning 1-15 page website. Especially only when you may need a simple CMS in the background. Once in a while though, you will have to work on a large project, that you have to build your own framework for, everything custom. This is when wire-framing your application is very useful and will help keep organization and keep everyone (even yourself) on the right track. I will be briefly talking about a few wire-framing applications that I use, and guess what!, they’re free (to a certain extent).
Gliffy
Gliffy is usually what i first start with when getting a large application organized.

Gliffy has drag and drop elements from a tool library that you can put anywhere on the page. You can add text to wireframe to have a clear mockup. Continue Reading
Project Bubble, will it ever burst?
Project Bubble
If you don’t already know, Project Bubble i,s in my humble opinion the best project management application for free. Project Bubble is easy to use and understand and the design is open making it not as much for a task for data entry. You can add multiple projects, clients, tasks, invoices and even estimates. So far Project Bubble is in its infanticy but has made some major strides since its official launch late last year. The creator Stu Green has made the development of the application not just from his own ideas. Stu almost daily polls his audience to see whats on their mind and what they want to see Project Bubble become. Stu takes the users wants and executes updates with hardly any hiccups. So far I can only use Project Bubble as an invoicing and estimate application. I really want to start using this as an all in one project management tool.
I could use this as a main hub between salesman, clients, developers, and myself. Some things are holding me back at this point. Continue Reading
