The free wireframe version of Adalon is great. I wireframed a big ol' FB
app (around 40 circuits, from 10 to 40 fuseactions each), and it was great
to work with. Once you have the diagrams all set up, and you actually have
something pretty to show the boss, the sale for the full version (that
actually generates code and stuff) could be much easier. I also use it for
database relationships and class diagrams, because i'm familiar with it.
Probably better tools for each job out there, bot for a single app, it's
great at all three.

I'd personally recommend Embarcadero's ER/Studio for database design. It
has way better features than Visio, for it is specific...
http://www.embarcadero.com/products/erstudio/index.asp
I believe Sybase and Oracle also have good database design tools...
Looks like Adalon though is a pretty cool wireframe app... I may have to
try that out myself...
With Visio Enterprise, you can create ER diagrams and forward-engineer
database tables with all their relationships defined. Regular Visio
will only reverse-engineer Access and SQL-Server databases, but that can
be a big help if you need a graphical representation. I'm not sure if
you can just bolt onto anything through ODBC, though. I haven't really
dug into it that much.

There is a free version of Adalon. The wireframe version.
Its a highly cut down version that's suitable for giving to clients to help
them help you gather requirements.
It allows you to create diagrams with some detail, that go on to create
simple wireframes.
That might be enough to get you started and give you a leg up with getting
full versions of adalon on your desk. ;o)

VISIO, it's not specifically for Web Application design, but it works
really well for modelling all sorts of processes including databases and
networks.
When you signup for Microsoft's partner program you get VISIO and a
whole boatload of other software for internal use. I think we paid $99
for the whole shebang including development copies of Windows Server
2003, Office, etc.
Just another option ...

Michael, take a look at NAWT (not another wireframe tool) at
strangetactics.com it serves at least part of the process and it is
free.

Does anyone know of any tools available that are free or very cheap that
help layout a new application? I am pushing for Adalon here, but its an
uphill battle...
I am trying to find a tool to aid in the restructuring and redesign of
our main application that currently has NO documentation and NO initial
design specs... sad story yes... and very frustrating.
Thanks,
