Just because a wireframe is completely separate from a prototype does not mean that it cannot be "pretty" - i.e. yellow and green!
Check-out Adalon 2.5 in a couple of weeks for a very good, much "prettier" wireframe tool (along with a tool for the rest of the FLiP process - no more retyping text over and over and over ...). -- Jeff -----Original Message----- From: David Huyck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 11:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: my issues with wirefram tools I have seen Repeat after me: "A wireframe tool is not pretty. A wireframe tool is not pretty..." The entire purpose of a wireframer is to get a general idea of workflow in the application, NOT, I repeat, NOT as an application prototyping tool. Your best bet for something like that is UltraDev or some other wysiwyg tool, or a good designer who can crank out the HTML. Do not rely on the wireframe for the look of your application or for "prototyping". You are going to have to do that separately.
