Why Balsamiq Mockups for wireframing?
Take a second. Let it sink in.
The first impression might be disorienting. There are very few interface elements on the screen. Start exploring however, and you'll find out that Mockups is filled with powerful yet only-visible-when-you-need-them features.
Getting your ideas out should be effortless. We sweat the details so the app gets out of your way, instead of forcing you to learn it. You won't see many dialog windows interrupting your flow, and you won't have to twiddle with options all the time.
Our sweet spot: the ideation phase
Mockups really shines during the early stages of designing a new interface.
Mockups is zenware, meaning that it will help you get "in the zone", and stay there. Our aim is for you to forget our software is there at all.
Mockups offers the same speed and rough feel as sketching with pencil, with the advantage of the digital medium: drag & drop to resize and rearrange elements, make changes without starting over, and your work is clear enough that you'll make sense of them later.
Designed for collaboration
Your whole team can come together around the right design using Mockups. It's so easy to learn, both clients and customers can use it (for free even), to describe their needs more clearly.
Mockups intentionally makes your wireframes scream both This is not final! and I just threw this together, eliciting honest feedback, which results in better wireframes, easier-to-use features, and happier users of your product. That's what it's all about.
We realize being the in-between tool is a hard balance to strike, but we think we're doing a pretty good job at it and we're committed to it. It's why we created Mockups in the first place.
