At the beginning of a web (or application) development project I always create the sketches first. While sketching can be done on a blank paper, it’s much better to use a sketch template. For me that is the best and most productive way to work on and improve my ideas before application development begins (and things get more complicated :-)). This way I won’t pay too much attention to some details that should be taken care of later, but stay focused on general layout and functionality.

Below you will find more than 20 resources that you can use in sketching phase of application development. If you have some additional resources to share, please leave a comment so I can add them to the list.

And, of course, don’t forget to share your wireframes on I ♥ wireframes :-)

Dragi moji i drage moje (a i oni ostali :p),

Pre dve godine na današnji dan Planeta Srbija je prvi put puštena u rad i tada je na njoj bilo manje od 30 blogova.

Drago mi je da se u poslednje vreme javlja sve više blogera (a i onih drugih) koji bi želeli da postave svoj blog na Planetoid.
Danas na ovaj mali jubilej Planeta Srbija broji 150 blogera, nije neki veliki broj ali već je gužva, svaki dan ima po nešto novo da se pročita (u proseku bar 15 novih unosa).

Za ove dve godine dosta toga se promenilo na domaćoj blog sceni, povećao se broj domaćih blog servisa (neki su tek u najavi), povećao se broj kavlitetnih tekstova, juče smo dobili prvu domaću tražilicu srpskih blogova, B92 je dao (i još uvek daje) svoj veliki doprinos popularizaciji blogovanja u Srbiji (iako neki misle suprotno)

… i ako sam nešto ispustila ne zamerite ;)

Sledeće što mogu da vam najavim je da ćemo Planetoid ubuduće obogatiti reklamama, pron i kazino banerima ne bi li sebi povećali novce a i Gugl PR ;)

Naravno šalim se, malo crnog (SEO) humora nije na odmet :)

Pa …

Planeto, Srećan ti drugi rođendan !

i blog s Vama :-)
