Just the same as opening a Microsoft Word template file.įor ease of use and ultimate customisation, Balsamiq takes many queues from authoring applications such as Photoshop with all the options you’d expect from a authoring program the form of a familiar (Heads Up Display) HUD. You can make such a template document by clicking a simple “clone” button in the file menu to take what’s already in the file and start with a fresh mockup file. This product takes away most if not all of the legwork people whose don’t perhaps have the drawing skills with the pencil that others may possess.

There’s a still a lot to be said for for wireframing with pencil and paper and this is not something I’d argue against.īut with a bit of effort into putting together an early example of wireframe sheet with spaces for outlining a design colour palette, project information and any design notes that come to mind during the wireframe process. In my early years, I used a lot of paper to do my wireframes. The above image shows an example of a setup I put together in one of my first mockups. Or if you need to factor in form controls they’re available too. If you need something to represent a search box, drag and drop it. If you need something to represent an icon or call to action element, drag and drop it.

It’s a digital representation in every way of sketched interface elements you’d find on paper.Īll the tools you need are provided by easy drag and drop placement from a menu on the top, from interface elements to layering.

It does everything you’d expect of a paper wireframing tool and allows me to replicate the techniques of wireframing that I applied on paper, to the digital screen. Today I’ve been getting to know Balsamiq. You maybe have seen me talking about that recently 😉 but Balsamiq was a recommended purchase program by the web design course tutor Nick Pettit, so then since then it’s been on my mind to purchase this product. In the last year, I put money towards excellent Technology tuition at Treehouse. I have to say though, not to the extent where I’ve been moved to commit to a potentially expensive monthly payment plan where I could maybe spend the money elsewhere. Some of these I’ve been very impressed with. Screenfly by the way is a very useful tool for Responsive design. I’ve seen solutions by websites like Mockflow, Mockingbird, Quirktools suite of tools. I’ve been looking for a wireframing tool for some time and there are a number of solutions out there. Balsamiq Mockups is a well recommended desktop tool for wireframing websites and multimedia interfaces.
