Idea/Question: Easy way to mock up a site online?

    Hey,
    I'm doing some flat-image mock ups of a new site design. I thought it'd be nice if there was a site that allows you to upload images, and assign a clickable area, maybe by drawing a box around it, that assigns a 'link' to a specified page/image that you've also uploaded.

    For example, if I had 3 mocked up images representing my desired web design, and for each image I could draw a box around the logo in the upper panel so that when this area is clicked it goes back to the image/page that I've assigned as the home page.

    Anything like this exist? If not, it'd be a handy service :)

    Thanks

    I don't know if it's quite what you're looking for but Concept Share might be worth a look.

    I dont have office installed here right now... but im pretty sure at one stage they has word incorporated creating html pages, and doing an image map for links from different parts of an image.
    Im sure that emmm.... heh !... MS Frontpage has it



    I actually simply put "create image maps html online" into google and one of the first sites looks promising.

    upload your image, then point out the points. and code will be provided.
    just pop it into a html file and upload somewhere.

    if thats what your looking for.
    I would use either Dreamweaver (most likely) or Adobe fireworks

    That's super easy to do in Dreamweaver. Just use image maps and a few pages.

    I use Axure for wireframing, design or even color doesn't come into it until a good few stages of revision.

    Here's an interesting article on the design process, which uses wireframing

    Doing something like click-able image maps etc. would be too much work in my opinion, it sounds like you're already in fairly deep with designs which are going to be chosen.

    I'd just use multiple screen shots, and use a service like Jing to share them, so an image of the homepage, with the next image being a link deep or something
