Sitemaps and Mindmaps, brainstorming and planning

Wow what a great online tool to use on your computer, ipad or smart phone. With Mind Meister you can create sitemaps for website development, mind maps or any type of organized planning more effectively and faster than other software.

Also since it is an online tool it is easier and more legible to share with clients. I'm impressed

Sharing HUGE Files Stylishly

Send up to 2GB of file size for FREE using the very stylish and excellently designed WeTransfer
Really I'd use it just because of how aesthetically pleasing the interface is, if you click around on backgrounds and pop ups you get to great art and design sites! Form meets function here.
