It’s been a while since I’ve worked on my site. Quite honestly, I never worked on it much at all. I’ve spent the last many years moving between employee/contractor positions in the web industry. As a contractor I always think I’ll start a web company. As an employee there is no need… or time. So, I’ve decided it’s time to revamp my site. Rather than have it look like a fledgling, boutique web company [forever], I’ve decided to make it more personal and offer up some opinion, knowledge and experience that will hopefully be useful.
That being said,this approach started with brainstorming. In my opinion (and I admit to being a technology fanatic), there is no better tool than MindMeister. It’s easy, fast and efficient. The mind map I created for this site re-design was very simple in functionality and meant to quickly outline my thoughts and though albeit small, the general information architecture. However, MindMeister let’s you add visual formatting options, attachments, assignments, due dates etc. making it very useful for light-weight project management and planning. Best of all, MindMeister allows you to export, publish and share mind maps so that everyone you work with, or live with, can collaborate. And, it’s available on iPhone and Android. Try it out. Let me know what you think.
