Best program to use......?

I am currently in process of getting a website designed and made for me. I have written couple pages for the desingers to give me a better idea of what i am after. But i also want to do quick basic designs of each page how I want them so i can show them where i am aiming for. Then they can do their own magic and work and show me how they can make it look like.

So what program would be best and easiest to do this in?

  • What programs do you have? You could produce a template of the basic layout in word

  • As an ex-web designer.. i would say use a pen and pencil, forget the computer

    Draw some sketches and show them. This beats doing it in a design package if you just want to get your ideas across.

    I agree, as a web designer myself i would say draw a design and scan it.

    But "Pad and pencil" is probably the best Web design tool out there :D

    Lots of paper, different coloured pens... It is how i start any web page I design.. It is so easy to do.

    and, your first post says that you have web designers, but your last post if offering people the project?! which is it?!
