I tried several days to download this, still broken. Any idea where I can find a mirror?

I'm not sure kind of diagrams you want to use but you could check out these:

  • FreeMind - an open source java-based mind mapper
  • StarUML - an open source UML tool (only for Windows unfortunately)

Inkscape is my favourite drawing tool. Has fantastic SVG support.

It is basic but just what I needed to design the web structure

@Touko, your link to StarUML is not working. This is the URL

Just in case you're talking about sketching out the UI specifications, Balsamiq is really nice.

discgolfer  2008-11-06 15:36:14
The OP specifically says a) Free, which Balsamiq is not and b) web-site spec, not UI spec. I love Balsamiq, but it's clearly offtopic here.
