  Old  Reccomend a way to plan my website?

Hi everyone,
With a new project on the cards, I am wondering what everyone uses to plan out the way their websites will work, and to make the idea and the finished product similar. Ideally a program that i can give to the coder and he can see from the layout where things are going to go.
All suggestions welcome,
Alex.

Personally, I draw a lot. I have labels that correspond to the links or actions necessary to get to the depicted screen. I try to draw in ultra-descriptive text or values for each element. I end up with a web of interconnected drawings. This doesn't do much to describe how the guts of the app work, but the user experience is whats important, now how the information gets from A to B.

I've used visio and concept draw to come up with wire frames and use cases for websites. But those are both commercial programs. There is probably an open source program that does what those two programs do. For thinking abou what should be in a site, I've used freemind. Freemind is a mind mapping software program.
