Wireframes in general are a good idea. There are also plenty of
templates and other resources on the web to get you started in whatever
tool you're most comfortable in. (Photoshop/Illustrator/OmniGraffle).<br>
<br>
I personally use Illustrator, but the choice is yours. As Mike stated,
this process helps in various regards. It is a staple in the design
stage of any website or application project my team and I work on.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Do you want work with wireframes? If yes, ignore this as you
know it already but if not you might want to get a copy of Balsamiq and
use it with your client to design what they need. I've found it
invaluable to approach the process this way (as have so many others.)
Going through the process uncovers needs that would otherwise go
unrealized and unspoken and gives you a visual record of the desired
outcome.</div>

look like I'll need something custom, although I still need to discuss
the fine points of what's needed with the (potential) client so we're
not quite ready to go yet. But I may just be back if we move forward! <br>

<br>
<br>
I'd like some suggestions for a specific type of plugin - it's
something that's proving hard to Google because it involves a menu of
meals but Googling "menu" just gets you nav stuff. <br>
<br>
A potential client currently has a site that helps parents plan lunches
for the week for their kids. On this old site there was a page where
you clicked on choices of meats, breads, veggies, etc., and then the
site generated potential a monthly menu and a separate grocery list
based on your choices, with a chance to refine the plan yourself before
going final. They used some sort of simple CMS previously (neither the
site nor the admin panel says what it's powered by). Is there anything
out there already that could help me create this, or do I need to hire
my own backend person to make something custom? <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
