I start out by using the wireframe myself to produce documentation of the interface's functional requirements, and present the first cut of these to the client in a Word doc, or as static HTML on the project site. Because of the speed with which you can put a wireframe together, they get a bit excited at the responsiveness and detail that results. Then I mention, yeah, that I have a little app that makes it easy, and that can drive it if they like. If there are more than two reps for the client, then one of them will be interested, and then the others will have to keep up, or feel left out, etc.

Anyway, most get the idea that the first step is to decide What it should do, before we investigate How it should do it, or How it should look. If they don't, I point them to our graphic designer, and get on with someone else's project ;-) Luxury!

As for PHP or ASP versions, I am planning on doing a Perl or PHP port, anything multi-platform really, although it would probably always lag behind the CF. (In fact, I'm looking forward to it as my first exercise in FuseBox-ing with Perl.) WireFrames obviously have application way beyond FuseBox or even CF. I have members of our Web Publishing team now, using it to spec out the structure of a static site's navigation, etc.

As ever, I'm following the Underpants Gnomes' business model...
