I’m having a hard time finding a good wireframing tool for web applications. Right now I’m using Dreamweaver with the hopes of short cutting my html efforts once my application’s screens are ironed out. I realize this isn’t the easiest solution, but I’ve already started, and it seems like the easiest format to translate / clean up later.
My ideal wireframe tool would do the following :
- Free or cheap
- WYSIWYG functionality
- Either use real HTML or export visual elements to HTML
- Allow for clickable navigation between screens
- Allow for small amounts of code interactivity
Dreamweaver meets most of these, and I’ve already made it far enough that I don’t want to turn back.
After all these years of hand crafting my html, it’s a real challenge making the switch to WYSIWYG editing.
So far it’s been ok, just not as easy as I was hoping. Hopefully this barrier is just my inexperience creating web pages the visual way.
