Drawing a web site map

What is everyone using to concept their web sites? Specifically, drawing the site map. I currently use a flowchart program, MacFlow/WinFlow, by Mainstay Software ([url]http://www.mstay.com/fl40_ab1.html[/url]). It does a decent job, but the company hasn’t updated it in years. One of my users has WinFlow running on XP, and it crashes every five minutes (literally).

I need to find a replacement, ideally something that’s cross-platform.

@Compguy_PeteApr 14.2005 — I haven't flowcharted a website in years... if the program works why change it? New and more costly upgrades are not always required.

@NevermoreApr 14.2005 — I use Macromedia Freehand, and would recommend just using whatever drawing program you have.

@cajun67authorApr 15.2005 — Drawing programs like Freehand and Illustrator really aren't a substitute, IMO... a good flowchart program will cut in half the time to create the map of a large site, easily. And trying to make major revisions to a large Freehand/Illustrator flowchart... yikes, what a mess. A flowchart program will keep everything connected as you drag it around.

@webgovernorApr 15.2005 — Don't know if this will help, but I used to use

a word processor (kwrite).

An example:

[CODE]Index >
Order >
Form >
Send Mail >
Product List >
Form >

About >
Editors >
Clients >
List >

Contact >
Send Mail >[/CODE]


The secret is the "tab" key.

That's all I did, but I can see where a flowchart app would

be better...

I actually stopped making flowcharts.

Well, good luck with your search...

Success!
