Giotto
Giotto is a programming language for creating website prototypes.
It's based on the logical organization of pages. It means that
pages and links are orthogonal dimensions and can be combined in any way.
The grammar is very simple and intuitive. You don't need to know HTML, PHP or whatever.
Main idea
Many websites have useful pages which are difficult to reach, and useless pages very easy to access.
That's stupid... how could it happen?
A webmaster sometimes puts great attention to graphics and less to logic (the way pages are connected).

Giotto's main feature is the orthogonalization of pages and links: you can separately define a set of pages to be used and the way they are connected.
In this way you can test which is the best logic to link pages, realizing a more intuitive product...
...more intuitive = more easy to use = more people will use it!
