Usually, when you have in mind a project, you would like to sketch it, so you can also have a visual projection too. When thinking about a website, you would like to plan it as much as possible in detail, because knowing very well what you want to have is a good beginning. Most of the web designers use pencils and paper for sketching their ideas, but a much easier method is to use a digital tool. The comfort and the features offered by the digital environment will make you fall in love with software applications which allow you to create prototypes and wireframes.

One of the best software applications of this kind is FlairBuilder, which was designed as a cross-platform tool for capturing ideas and concepts. This software application offers you flexibility and professionalism, both integrated in an user-friendly interface. If you have a project (website) with few pages, it's easy to use pencils and paper, or other unprofessional tools, but when you have a complex idea, FlairBuilder gives you a very good freedom of expression.

Your project's structure will be defined in a logical manner if you use FlairBuilder, because it allows you organizing the pages in folders, and you can easily keep track of pages. You realize how flexible and easy to use is this software, when you see how easily you can modify, update and organize the pages and the folders. Renaming and editing an element is as easy as double clicking it!

FlairBuilder is the digital projection of a webdesigner's toolkit, in a modern form. The paper is replaced by the workspace, which can be customized according to your needs, and the pencils come in a the shape of widgets, of course, in a huge variety. The best aspect about the widgets is that they are looking the same as the real elements used in webdesign. If you are thinking to place "there" some radio buttons, the plan you will make with FlairBuilder is the closest version to reality, because the radio buttons have the same size, shape and color as the real radio buttons you would use when designing the website.

If you would like to use the "masters" concept, just like in Office PowerPoint, you are free to do this with FlairBuilder, and this is great, because you don't have to redesign the layout in all pages. You can add any kind of element available and you can test its functionality in preview mode. It's very easy to switch between the design and preview mode, and this is another advantage of the application.

Drag and drop is the best feature of this software application, and taking into account that all elements can be placed and moved using this feature this means great functionality and ease in use. When you want to edit an element's properties, you just have to double click it, and you can edit anything you want.

The bad aspect about this software is that there is no print function implemented, but every bad aspect has a good part, and the good part in this case is that you can export the pages you have created in various formats and then print them.

All project sketches created with FlairBuilder are as close as possible with the concepts you want to create, due to the realistic aspect and functionality of the widgets available, so you can actually see in the planning stage how your project will behave. Moreover, in the future, the developer will implement the HTML export feature too, and the planning stage will offer you a more realistic view on your project.
