One of the things I like the most in my work is to hold customer presentations. In order to make EPiServer look gooood I rely on some small tools and Plug-ins that give me the upper hand and sets the customer in the right mood. Many of these tools are found on EPiCode.

One of these tools is a small, but indispensable one, and it's called Page Mockup (anyone in for a naming contest?). It allows me to create one or several page structures based on the customers existing site map (or whatever format you have the page names in). Imagine the recognition the customer feels when you open the demo site with the complete navigation structure from his existing site!

Another useful area for the PageMockUp plug-in is when doing prototyping of design and information architecture in a customer project. Instead of looking at the information structure in Excel you could visualize the complete structure in EPiServer while at the same time verify that your fly-out menus handles 100 + sub pages. Together with the inbuilt functions of EPiServer, like Drag & Drop of page structures, working with information architecture is dead easy . Add the Manage Children module and your EPiServer development days just got even better!
