When you begin to work on a project, it’s always important to begin creating your ideas as a wireframe. It is the step you take to put your ideas in action to see if what you have in mind will work properly. We recently posted an article showcasing Inspiring UI Wireframe Sketches and we received some inquiries about wireframing tools, so we decided to gather a few suggestions for you.

Just proto is what we use day in day out. thumbs up to their awesome tool!
I always enjoy these UX wireframing tool roundups, but I can never seem to find anything that would make me give up OmniGraffle. I see lots of great sharing features, but they don’t outweigh learning a new tool or giving up volumes of previous work as assets. Maybe if I was starting a brand-new project from scratch?
A really good one is GoMockingbird.com
You missed my favorite: Balsamiq! https://www.balsamiq.com
yeah – Balsamiq is also my favorite and I think one of the best mockup tools.
You didn’t try out any of those… say, it’s not Justinmind, it’s Prototyper (the name of the actual product); furthermore, you don’t just write “The best platform to define web and mobile apps with rich interactive wireframes” in an article. It’s a commercial slogan, not a description. Guess you just copy-pasted their headings, must have not taken more than an hour to complete all. Just a little more effort would have been nice, like this is web app, this one is desktop, this is free, that one has 3 plans etc.
Great tools, iPhone mockup looks amazing đŸ™‚
