"So much faster than other tools we have used.
Planning and communication are two key elements in the development of any successful website or application. And that is exactly what the wireframing process offers: a quick and simple method to plan the layout and a cost-effective, time-saving tool to easily communicate your ideas to others. A wireframe typically has the basic elements of a Web page: header, footer, sidebar, maybe even some generated content, which gives you, your clients and colleagues a simple visually oriented layout that illustrates what the structure of the website will be by the end of the project and that serves as the foundation for any future alterations. This article focuses on actual wireframing tools and standalone applications, as well as resources that you’ll need to build your own wireframe: wireframing kits, browser windows, form elements, grids, Mac OS X elements, mobile elements , which you’ll use in any typical graphics editor such as Photoshop or Illustrator. …Or you could use pen and paper.
Instantly generate customizable, functional specifications in Microsoft Word format that document the interactions, annotations, and even content in your design. Whether it's the functional specifications, the interactive prototypes, the beautiful wireframes, or the sketchy user interface mockups, we want your team and clients to love them and to love you for them.
Brainstorm using Mockingbird, then use your mockups going into the building stage to make sure your team is on the same page — about every page.
Why Balsamiq Mockups for wireframing? Using Mockups feels like drawing, but because it’s digital, you can tweak and rearrange easily. Teams can come up with a design and iterate over it in real-time in the course of a meeting. Product managers, designers, developers, and even clients can now work together in the same tool to quickly iterate over wireframes, before writing code. Read our Manifesto! Mockups is designed to help you and your team or clients iterate on wireframes as early in the process as possible, when it’s cheapest to do so.
Many of us stick with the tools we already know best — Fireworks, Illustrator, and Photoshop. No argument that these are good options as they’re cheap and draw on the software skills you’ve taken years to hone.
