Hi all, my first post here..
Basically, I was curious if anyone knows of a good software app (Irrespective of price, that is) that can assist web designers with project management? Something geared towards programming preferably...?
I have a website design, layout, & features all in my head as a "picture" or a "flow of pictures", in so many words. And I need a way to translate this massive project (Ironically, the project I'm making is a Project Management System for my job) into workable sections... and busting out a pencil and paper just won't do the trick(Inneficient, unorganized, unmanageable!, etc).
For instance... I'd like a way to draw arrows(like drag and drop) between ideas(sections of code/design), and then be able to open that object (eg. button click on a cloud icon or something of the sort..) and have, for example, a photoshop render or atleast a button linking to it, so that I can literally lay the page out into a heirarchy of elements.
It's a heavily two sided thing. There's the page layout, and the code behind it. Both of which must be integrated with each other, to allow for a "Frontend" (literally the project management system) and a "Backend"(admin page - adjust template,add/remove "components", etc).
I mean alternatively I could start with something basic and expand out - but I would then be unable to maximize portability, and possibly even lose sight of the original features planned for the whole thing. Just need a way to draw it out, in a manageable way... That way it can be tackled in portions (and so I can have a couple coworkers, who are less knowledgeable in site design, help out on it
)
I would really hate to have to create a Project Management program, just to make my Project Management System. hah, you know what I mean?
So if anyone has any suggestions on this, I'd really appreciate the info. Google searches seem to be bringing back nothing but crud. Thanks in advance.
