A web design notation designed to be more lightweight than UML and to be understandable by those who do not come from a formal S/W Engineering background.

The notation allows you to create a very high-level diagram (map) of a web-application.

Features

  • Provides a high-level context diagram of web-applications
  • Can be easily understood and shared between project team members
  • You don't have to be a "Code Warrior" to understand it!
  • Takes a pragmatic approach to documenting systems - you only need to use those pieces that add value for you.
  • Uses different shapes and colours to make the diagrams easy to scan
