Best4c is a new chart design application that provides a variety of options for many of your chart-creation needs

Best4c is a new chart design application that provides a variety of options for many of your chart-creation needs.

Offering tools for creating flow charts, network charts, and home and office layout designs. As a basic tool, Best4c works well. Its drag’n'drop capabilities make the creation of a chart or layout easy, and other basic functions such as resizing are intuitive. Other features are less intuitive, especially for the creation of a flow chart, where most tools will have more automated features for creating trees, instead of all manual connections that need to be made. The chart creation tools are more useful than the home and office layout options, as the system provided by Best4c is not all inclusive for furnishing designs. That being said, there are no options for room ratio sizing, and limited options for furniture, so you’ll do best by using tools like MyDesignIn and FloorPlanner for home design.

There are also no networking options for Best4c, as it operates more like a desktop application than a collaborative tool, though charts can be shared. This also means you’ll need to go to the “Open file” tool in order to access your previous charts, or use the URL provided upon saving a chart in order to access individual charts later. Nevertheless, you’ll be hard pressed to find other users’ charts (some are shown on the homepage), and there are no profiles for seeing all of a user’s public designs. Should Best4c decide to add in more networking options, having the ability to search, view, share and customize others’ charts would come in handy.
