I'm wondering, if there is Axure RP alternative for a better price. I used other apps, but ended with Axure RP because of two fundamental advantages:
it's not only wireframe tool, but it lets me prototype whole web/app with functional demonstrations
it generates/exports prototype and customers can easily try personaly (it's HTML site and i upload it to my server and clients just get email with link to follow)
So, is there anything else like Axure RP meeting my two criteria with better price? All apps i've seen mainly fail in second condition.
Yes - atomic.io lets you do both of these things.
You can go from low fidelity, right up to fully functioning prototypes that use things like logic, data, and variables.
You can also easily share an URL with anyone. (see: https://atomic.io/learn/sharing)
And there is a free plan. :-)
atomic.io
You can use moqups.com , it's a web app.
it lets you to make prototypes with linked pages and more .
also it lets you to share your Design through a URL on its site.
There are a ton of prototyping tools.

It always depends on what your main goal to achieve is.
Justinmind (https://www.justinmind.com) is very close to Axure.
If you do not mind sharing your prototypes you can look into a bunch of different tools that are webbased (i.e. https://www.figma.com)

At the moment we are a small development team of 2. All our software is used inhouse. Currently staff just walk to our desk when they want new software developed or when they want new features added to existing software, or when bugs arise.
I am looking for a better management process of this. Do I get staff to send an email instead and then that can be designated to a developer. Or is there a simple software app out there that could help?
I want a simple method for doing this as the staff are unlikely to use something if too time consuming or complex. They find it too easy to approach a developer personally!
Anything to recommend please?
One option is to use JIRA. It has a feature where emails sent to a certain address can get turned in to backlog items (using the email subject line as the title).
Keep it as it is for now: face-to-face communication is always better than using any piece of software...
It will be only when you will grow to more developers that you will really need such software: from online or cloud based (ie Zimbra) to VCSs (version control systems) hosted on your machines.

I'm new to SharePoint and I'm looking for resources to exemplify a good layout for a project management oriented site. I've made a Project site, but that's as far as I've gotten. Has anyone run across any good resources for this?
If you've started with a Project Site, your Task List and Calendar are going to do quite a bit for you. There's a few options you'll want to turn on, such as the Timeline in the Task List. Dig around your available Apps and experiment with what you see. You'll likely need a List for something, so check out custom lists while you're experimenting (they operate a bit like an Excel spreadsheet).
Since you're new to SharePoint, you might consider looking for O'Reilly's Information Architecture for the World Wide Web. If you'll be doing much more site design, that book will help you determine what sites need and how they should be organized. It's a fantastic book and not difficult to read, although the second half of the book is pretty specific to coded web design, which isn't what SharePoint is for new users.

I am asking a pretty high-level question here in order to hopefully get to know some of the pitfalls before setting out. I am planning an application that will visit specific web sites to collect, process and format tabular data. It must then somehow take certain web browser actions (follow a link, post a form, click a button etc) in response to the data that has been collected, giving feedback if something breaks in the process. A central requirement is that it must be easily adaptable to different pages, i.e. the data and menu options on the web pages are largely the same, but formatted differently. The format of the page can change without notice, so error detection and handling must be good.
I was thinking of going with C# and simply using the WebBrowser class in .NET, seeing as it at least has good facilities for manipulating the DOM and running JavaScript without any additional configuration. However, I am reasonably language agnostic. The major thing I am worried about is that it WebBrowser doesn't seem to be as tightly developed for actually performing actions (mouse clicks etc). I am wondering if this is going to bite me in the ass. Also, it is a plus if the program behaves indistinguishly from a human user when seen from the server side.
Has anyone here worked with these kinds of tasks? I have to emphasize that I am not doing testing of web applications here; this is more a robot. Are there any libraries/frameworks out there that are better suited than the .NET standard library with regards to flexibility and ease of use? Are there any major pitfalls to look out for?
I suggest you look at mechanize in combination with beautifulsoup it's perl or python but it's exactly what you need.

I'm looking to set up a small site for a friend that has some widgets they want to sell online. I don't think I will have much time for maintenance once it goes live (for that matter, I don't expect I'll have much time for initial setup and configuration), and I am looking for something that is dead-simple for a non-technical user to maintain (financial/payment info, add/remove/change products).
The second most important part would be good integration with a payment provider. I'm not too fussy what language it's in if it meets my other criteria (if I don't know the language I will learn enough to get the site running).
Also important is that I'd prefer to stick to open-source products, mostly because I don't think this project will have much of a budget for high-end commercial products (at least not until it makes some sales).
The last time I did this sort of stuff we were building custom sites from scratch for clients with very specific needs. I do not have recent experience with the current generation of blogging tools (Wordpress, Joomla, etc...) and I don't really know which off-the-shelf combo of platforms and plugins are best to get something up and running in as little time as possible.
Hosting your own online store is a full-time occupation, no different from running your own brick-and-mortar store. Anything that accepts online payments will be targeted by criminals for online fraud.
If your business is selling widgets and not running online stores, I strongly, strongly suggest using a hosted service with its own web integration and payment handling. I know people who have used both Weebly and Etsy and who are happy with them.

Does anybody know what large companies are currently using agile iconix process??
The only ones I know are the one I could find on the ICONIX Software Engineering corporate website:
Case studies: see how ESRI Professional Services, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope are succeeding with ICONIX Process
I may be wrong but to me, the ICONIX methodology isn't really widely used and it
looks more like a way to sell their Enterprise Architect product.
And personally, I never had big successes with too much UML centric approaches (à la MDA).
I like the process and used it well in several projects. I just want to give some of my thoughts on it:
Iconix is based on domain driven design. Domain comes first. This is fine, however we need to be aware of a boundary conditions. To put is simply, domain driven design works for the relatively complex projects. There may not be a domain model as design pattern at all since it may not be the best choice for every system.
Iconix assumes sophisticated deisgn. Not every project needs it and not every project has developers capable of absorbing it. There are tons of data-centric or purely data manipulation applications out there.
No community, stale web site. I don't know of anybody who uses the process.
