Not long ago, I was talking to my friend Brent Spore, who happens to be an amazing designer. I helped sponsor his PodCamp Arizona recently, and he wanted to do a favor for me in return. Knowing the quality of his work, I was all over this offer! I needed a single web page where people can go to read more about me, and go through a simple PayPal form to pay me to coach them. It would be like an on-demand consulting type of thing, for whatever type of help I can provide.

I had trouble explaining to Brent what it was I wanted the page to look like. I needed a white-board of sorts, so I could show him where I wanted things to appear on the page and how I thought it should look. I couldn’t draw it out on a piece of paper, though. Thankfully, I was able to use mockingbird to illustrate for me!

Mockingbird is a free service. You don’t need to register to get started, but you do need to register (still free!) in order to save your work and share it with others. You’re simply going to be dragging and dropping different elements around until you get them exactly the way you want them. You’ll have just about every possible element you can think of, waiting for you to drop them onto your design.

If you have a good idea of what you want your page to look like, you can use mockingbird to show your designer. Clue them in, and make things easier on both of you!

It can save you time and money by helping you figure out what you’re looking for, before you pay someone to create it. Satisfy your clients by showing them clear mockups of what you’re working on for them.

Mockingbird is so easy and fun to use. I could do this all day long!
