*Pencil Project* is a Firefox add-on that is free, open-source diagramming
tool. These days, design programs can cost a pretty penny. Luckily, there are
free programs like Pencil Project that can let you learn for free. The
*sketch design feature* on Pencil Project allows you to create shapes and
other hand-drawn sketches from scratch with relative ease. There's also a
stencil generator that makes it possible for you to preserve any basic sketch
mark-ups you might want to use again for future projects, as well as a few
already available stencil templates to choose from. In addition, Pencil
Project can also be used as a *website prototype tool*. You can quickly build
diagrams with it which can ultimately turn into website mockups. Just add
images, text, links, or anything else you want to have on your webpage and
you'll be able to see what things look like well in advance of actually
coding it yourself. Unfortunately, Pencil Project does take some time to
learn how to use. Those familiar with sketching and design programs should
pick it up fairly quickly, but beginners should expect a bit of a learning
curve. *If you've ever wanted to learn to sketch basic designs or even see
what a website might look like before actually coding it, Pencil Project is a
great way to achieve that goal.*Download *Pencil Project (for Firefox) 1.3.4*
