Website Redesigns and Wireframing Tools

[Guard Dog]

Hey guys,

I was thinking of doing some major re-design efforts on an existing website. I've never wireframed before, but feel like this is the best way to get an accurate bid at this point.

Does anyone know of any free tools? Or what are the BEST tools?

Yes, I have Googled, so I have about as much information as I can hold in my brain right now... hoping for some real experience at this point.

Thanks!

Andy

Why reinvent the wheel! What's your current website php?

I don't even know what that means My current website I am looking to completely remodel, hence need for wireframing.

I have used https://gomockingbird.com/home

It's free with limitations but was always enough for me.

I also have paid designers to draft multiple wire frames after telling them the essential content and it can be really helpful.

Thanks, I will take a look at that one. Where would I find designers?

 

[pinkytoe]

I used to look at styles I liked on Behance and contact the designer directly.
You may also put up a competition on 99Designs.

Other options include Freelance sites which I don't use.

I also recommend that every web-master read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/12/designing-with-your-clients/

Designers should read too obv!
