Storyboards are one of the most useful tools available to any web designer. Trust me on this one. Just figure the amount of time you spend thinking about, then drawing a design. a better idea comes along seconds later, your original design gets trashed and its off to the drawing (storyboards) again. Now, imagine how much time you waste designing a site in dreamweaver, creating it, and .... trashing it.

Well, this was my fourth design choice for an index page. The original three were Dreamweaver pages that were... well, trashed, after a fair amount of work put into each. Dave's Homepage

So, take my advice and spend a few minutes actually thinking and visualizing what you want. You can always change it, modify it, or even, eventually, trash it. Without a start point, no design emerges and you never really figure out what your site really should look like. As ideas begin to form, then pages start to get added.... Biography.

Part of where I would like my site to go is to develop basic tutorials for instructional technology. CD-ROM or web-based tutorials are the most inexpensive and practical method for deploying self-paced, inter-active, multimedia instruction. So I have the outline for a couple of tutorials that I currently work with in face-to-face instruction... eventually I can develop them for electronic deployment... Tutorials.

Finally, there is our class pages...deliverables. How we show what we are doing and how well it can be done (or badly). These pages can take so many forms that storyboarding is really the only practical method of doing this. Again, this is a TRUST ME!!! I am one of those people that think I can do it on the fly with so many things. I have learned, the hard way, that web pages are NOT done on the fly; if you do, you WILL be redesigning.
