Making the site

Before I can start building, I obviously need to know what I’m going to build. I’ve got a (growing) document about the ideal site and I’m working on storyboards and flowcharts for how a first version of Helpalot should be.

This is my first flowchart of the pages that are needed for Helpalot.

Update: I’ve got a newer version of this flowchart.

For readability I didn’t draw every connections between pages that I could, but only the most important ones.

For these pages I’m making storyboards. At the moment I’ve got 12 pages covered. Besides these storyboards I’m working out details (like search and search results) out in more detail.

Still, I haven’t decided on how I’m going to build the test version. Probably either using Ning, Drupal or Joomla!. Perhaps when you see this flowchart it’s easier to give advice on this choice, so please feel free to comment.
