Many web workers have to use diagrams, charts and flowcharts to present information in a more advanced and organised way. Even for those in the tech jobs, nicely presented data can be the difference between cold calls and closed deals. However, many tools to create diagrams, charts and flowcharts can be complex to use, and may cost a lot.
To help those, here is a list of 10 free and easy-to-use web apps to create charts, diagrams and flowcharts. I hope you’ll find it useful, and if you do, please share it this article with your colleagues and friends. Also, don’t forget to leave me a comment below.
