Jumpchart is an online wireframe development tool I have recently started using to plan website information architecture on a current project. The big selling point is the interactivity of the site, where both myself and the client can make changes as the site begins to evolve.

If you build websites for a living, you know that content organization and approval can be an overwhelming process. We’ve all tried flowcharts, and wireframes, html mocks… even paper. All of these suffer from crucial flaws… They’re not interactive, and they carry no momentum into the build phase.

Instead of a traditional paper wireframe that is flat and hierarchical, you can quickly create something close to the end product website. Jumpchart allows you to quickly look at possible structures for your site and solve any potential problems in the early stages. The program is also very user friendly for clients new to web design development, and gives them a clearer idea of the look and feel of the final product. All files created in Jumpchart can be export for use in the continued development of the site.

I could go on about the many selling points of Jumpchart, but you should just go watch the Jumpchart video tour.
