Mindmapping software...

I just ran a search on it and came up with a fair example of what it does
for an everyday calendar.
http://www.visual-mind.com/Viewlet/Calendar_viewlet.html?bottom

Having trouble making  the mental leep into converting the calendar
presentation into a
web presentational look for the clients web site. The graphical image they
use to display
the calendar data wouldn't do much to gain the clients interest, As the same
data can
be displayed in a web page using a java applet tree.

Can you advise further? A method for clearly outlining a web site in a
graphically pleasing
manner would create the oportunity of bringing the client into the project
and educating them on
how there site can be used and "not used" at the same time.

Shooting in the dark here, Any insight, screen shots, would be greatly
appreciated!

Thank You
Kevin
