Build once. Publish where you already publish.

A tool for building guides and e-services that lead the visitor to an answer.

You build a decision tree — question, options, rule, result — by dragging nodes on a surface. The visitor gets one question at a time and an answer at the end. Everything is published on your own website.

Try four guides

These are guides built in Flowweaver — the same kind you would create and own yourselves. Every guide has two doors: Try shows it exactly as the visitor meets it, and Rebuild opens the same guide in the editor so you can see how it is made. Nothing can break, and you can start over whenever you like.

Find the right e-service

A wayfinder: a few questions that lead the visitor to the right e-service or guide — before they open the wrong form. Often the first thing an organisation builds.

Try Rebuild

Which company form suits you?

A decision guide for someone starting a business: a few questions branch to different suggestions — the same idea, a different domain entirely.

Try Rebuild

Might you be eligible for housing allowance?

A short decision guide: a couple of questions, one rule, and an answer straight away — instead of three pages of conditions.

Try Rebuild

The printer will not print

A troubleshooting guide that asks one question at a time and ends in something to do — not an amount, but an action.

How it goes

A whole guide built from an empty canvas in a minute: one question, two answers, two outcomes — then run the way a visitor meets it.

The film in words
  1. The editor opens on an empty canvas.
  2. A Question is dragged out of the palette and placed.
  3. It is the guide's start node — the first step in an empty guide becomes the start by itself.
  4. The question is written: Do you rent or own the home you live in?
  5. The answers are renamed Rent and Own.
  6. Two Results are added: You may be entitled to housing allowance and You are probably not entitled.
  7. A line is drawn from each answer to the outcome it leads to.
  8. The guide is run in the preview, Rent is chosen, and it lands on its outcome.

Which routes lead here?

The lines say where an answer leads. The question the other way round — how somebody ends up at a given answer — stops being readable from a drawing as soon as there is a rule in the middle.

The film in words
  1. The whole guide is shown at once: two questions, a rule, three outcomes.
  2. Right-click on the result Housing allowance is unusual in your situation and choose Paths to here.
  3. Every connection that can lead there lights up green. The rest drop back, along with the answers and nodes that are not on the way.
  4. The answer: No to the children question and No to the one about being under 29. Nothing else reaches that outcome.
  5. The same route is then followed at full size, one node at a time.

Open the guide in the editor and try it — right-click a result and choose Paths to here.

Undo for real

Do you dare change a guide that is live? The film makes the whole round trip: open another version, rewrite, publish — and take it back.

The film in text
  1. The version list shows three rows; Housing allowance is the published one — what the visitor sees.
  2. The row Before the rules changed is opened in the editor.
  3. The question is rewritten to Have you lived in the municipality for a year?.
  4. The visitor's pane stands still — it is drawn from the published version, not from what is being written.
  5. Save, then Publish — only now is the visitor's pane swapped.
  6. Publish on an earlier row takes it back: the visitor is back on what worked.

Another language

The guide from the build film learns English: the source stays put, you only write your language — and then the same guide is run in English.

The film in text
  1. The guide from the build film: one question, two results, in Swedish.
  2. The source selector is switched to English — translation mode turns on, and the Swedish source is shown as reference.
  3. The question, the answers and the results are written in English, field by field, with the original as the placeholder in every box.
  4. The counter in the toolbar counts up until everything is translated.
  5. The guide is run in the preview — now entirely in English, buttons and all.

Why Flowweaver?

Where do the answers go?

The whole way: pages with a rule between them, the recipient the publisher set up — and the visitor who fills in, changes their mind and gets a reference number from your own system.

The film in text
  1. A form is pages with fields. Between two pages sits a rule that weighs the answers and picks the path.
  2. The recipient is the editor's choice — the list is filled by the publisher, once, and the address never reaches the browser.
  3. The visitor describes the fault and reviews the answers.
  4. Change goes back to the question with the answer still there, so a letter can be fixed without retyping everything.
  5. Submit — the button says what it does, because the next step hands the errand over.
  6. The receipt shows a reference number from the publisher's own system.

Five reasons, five proofs

Five reasons to use Flowweaver, and the proof for each one — in the tool, in a minute and a half.

The film in text
  1. Content, not development: the question in a finished guide is rewritten right in the editor — no ticket, no code.
  2. The preview does not lie: the guide is run at once, and the rewritten question is there word for word.
  3. You can change your mind: on the versions page an earlier version is published again — the visitor's pane switches the same moment.
  4. Accessibility is built in: a guide is answered with the keyboard alone — focus visible, one question at a time.
  5. The data is not stuck: File → Export guide, and the whole guide leaves the tool as a file in a standard format — a safe copy, or something to read into another guide.
