Hey all,

This may not be exactly the right forum, but it is a java project.

When a client gives you their ideas of what they want for a website, how
do you propose the layout and flow of pages to them? I'm looking for
some way to present/draw up their ideas better than just stating the
features it will contain. I want to give them a clearer understanding of
how it works/navigates.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

This is nothing to do with Java. The fact that "it is a Java project" is
meaningless if you are not seeking help with Java.

For the purpose of presenting ideas to a client I really liked the
look of, and the logic behind, the Napkin Look and Feel
<http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/>. The referenced article
<http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000356.html> will
provide some timely reminders about customer expectations.
Unfortunately there is no JSF equivalent.

Create a "clicking-model", a mockup website in html which contains some
sample data etc...

This way, you can create a preview website for a client, which allows them
to view what the design will look like, how users will be able to navigate
the site, and how data will be presented.

Such a mockup shouldn't take too much time to create, but it's an easy way
to show a client the website even before it exists.

Best regards,

JC
