This post is based on a talk I gave at the 18th Cocoaheads Meetup Vienna (CHW018) on Feb 17th, 2011. It is an annotated tour of my Git config, Git related scripts and commands, and various other tips and tricks I picked up over the years. You can find most of these things in my dotfiles repo, as well with a lot of other stuff, like parts of my Zsh config. Patches welcome.

How fast does your webpage load?

The wireframing process is the straight-to-the-point and completely non-tech stage of any web project. It only requires that you define a skeletal outline of essential page elements such as headers, footers, navigation and content area and should illustrate how to cater and respond to any possible interaction from a user.

It is the most important, yet underused, stage of any web or apps development.

There are several avenues you could take for sketching a wireframe, most notably pen and paper (the easiest and most cost effective way), but for the sake of this article we have focused on apps that are not only highly effective and easy to use, they are also completely free.

We have covered free wireframe apps before (here), but a year is a long time in web development – some of the apps we had previously covered are either no longer completely free or are no longer available. And as such, we felt that we should compile a new list with more detail and covering all areas of design including web pages, mobile apps and application dev.

As well as showcasing a variety of free apps (11 in total), at the bottom of the post, we have also highlighted some premium wireframing services that do offer free, yet limited, options. You may like to try them.
