Diagramming your site

Get Started
1

I am looking for a way to make a diagram of a website. It’s mostly procedural PHP with a lot of includes, and I basically want to make a diagram showing what page includes what file(s), relevant links to other pages, and the ability to add comments.

Any suggestions on a program to do this in? I frequently see nice diagrams online, especially for OO programming.

Sounds like you need some simple flowchart software. Had a quick search in google and there are many options, but I can’t suggest any in particular.

That might do the trick, but are there any that are website creation specific (or at least go nicely with website planning)?

Try this link.

Simple Google search did the trick.

It’s actually a really nice website…might use it more from now on (just discovered it).

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I decided to go with yed though, because I require an offline solution. But if anyone has suggestions for something more specific to web design, I’d like to hear them.

I use Dia Diagram Editor, which is a free, open-source program that works on Windows and Mac OS X as well as Linux.
