I am looking for a free design program that can be used to create simple mocksups of a website, preferably one that allows for a synposis attatched to the file. This way I can design my site in a somewhat graphic way without the need to write code until I am sure I know what I want. (digital pen and paper!)

You mean something like Dreamweaver or what?

No I plan on using something like dreamweaver later on, I just wanted a program that will allow be to block out my site page by page so I can see the colors/layout without actualy writing any code.

I think some people use adobe illustrator or the equivalent for things like this. A quick search pulls up:

and

I haven't tried them, but the dub one looks pretty interesting.

dia? dia.sourceforge.net

Haven't tried it, but I think it's more for doing stuff like diagramming workflows or database tables or something - but maybe it'll work for blocking out a website design too. Should come in a win32 flavour for you convenience.

You wouldn't use Illustrator to do web layouts - Illustrator's a vector program which caters more for print design work. I use Photoshop & Fireworks to do my layouts - unfortunately, neither of those are free.

Thanks for all the response, dub is a very intresting program, I would recomend it just for anyone to try out, albeit not quite what I was looking for but still a very good program
