Th3 Core

I'm trying to help someone redo the information architecture of a website that has a few hundred pages. They've been giving me charts made in Excel and it's impossible to move things around or do anything really. I suggested Visio, but they don't want to pay for that. Do you guys know of any good diagramming tools (free preferred) that could handle a task like this?

All I want to do is show pages of the site and their links to help them visualize where content will go, and show them how visitors will navigate the site.

There are quite a few wireframing tools out there that are free. I just found this a couple days ago:
https://www.draw.io/

Don't know how well that will work for hundreds of pages, but worth a look.

Thanks!

I guess PowerPoint could be a fall-back. They've got that. It's a bit limited in terms of space, but at least it's better than the Excel.

Draw.io looks pretty good. That might be a good option.

Axure looks really powerful, but it's about the same price as a Visio licence. I'll let them look at that as an option.
