The 18 best wireframe tools

The 18 best wireframe tools
Wireframe tools make the process of knowing how to create an app or website fundamentally easier, by visually stripping the product down and enabling all involved to focus purely on functions and user interactivity. Clients need to understand how your proposed app or website will work. But simply explaining to them verbally or in writing leaves the vast majority of functions down to their imagination – which isn't helpful for you or your client, and leaves a lot of room of error. Wireframe tools can be extremely helpful in squaring that circle.

Are You Still Using Earlier-Generation Prototyping Tools? By Ritch Macefield Published: October 8, 2012 “Despite the fact that fourth-generation prototyping tools are now well established and the organizations that are in the know have gained a significant competitive advantage by using such tools, many organizations have yet to adopt them.” Working as a UX design and user-centered design (UCD) consultant across the world, it continues to surprise me that many software development organizations are still using what I call second- or third-generation prototyping tools and their associated techniques. Despite the fact that fourth-generation prototyping tools are now well established and the organizations that are in the know have gained a significant competitive advantage by using such tools, many organizations have yet to adopt them. Criteria for Evaluating Prototyping Tools The criteria that I’ve defined for evaluating prototyping tools comprise three subsets: The MUDS Criteria: Evaluating Tools’ Support for Specific Prototyping Activities Benefits

Skala, a Mac app by Bjango Are we there yet? We’ve been working extremely hard on Skala, but aren’t ready to show it to the world just yet. We’ll know we’re ready when we can use Skala full time on our own projects. However, we are ready to share a few more details. Performance Skala’s rendering engine runs almost exclusively on the GPU, using OpenGL. The downside to this approach is that we have to build everything ourselves. Skala View As you may expect, Skala View for iOS and Android can be used in conjunction with Skala for fast, accurate device previews. Guides Skala’s guides are stored within guide layers, allowing multiple sets that can be toggled off and on, or copied between documents. What it’s not To set reasonable expectations, we thought it might be a good idea to let you know what Skala isn’t. Skala is not an animation tool or a bitmap editor. Can I join the beta? Yes!
