Top ten prototyping tools.

1. 10 Wireframe Tools (best of all)
A designing guide by Allurive

2. 1. UXpin
You can put together wireframes in UXPin at top speed by
dragging and dropping custom elements. There are
regularly updated libraries for Bootstrap, Foundation, iOS
and Android, and your wireframes can be quickly converted
to high-fidelity mockups.

3. 2. Axure
Out of thousand of wireframing tools, Axure has emerged
as real stand out for a good duration of time. With robust
design capabilities and interaction-centric workspace, this
software continues to expand its market share in an
undeniable manner.

4. 3. Fluid UI
Fluid UI has 16 built-in libraries for iOS, Android, Windows,
wearables and more, and pages are created by dragging in
elements from these libraries. This app provides a great
way for you to map out your projects visually by creating
links to join screens, forming a diagram of how everything
fits together.

5. 4. Mockplus
Mockplus is a powerful and cleaner prototyping tool. It’s
code-free and easy-to-follow, letting you create or link
interactive pages & components with simple drag-and-drop
option. The in-built “Group” feature will work together with
interactive components to generate a fully-customized
component, which can be further edited and nested as well

6. 5. Balsamiq Mockups
This is also an easy-to-learn tool that comes with a user-
friendly interface. Its sketchy and low-fidelity wireframes
focus on rapid design functionality and conversations. What
really shines is the linking that allows you to create click-
through prototypes for both usability and demos testing.

7. 6. Justinmind
Web-based Justinmind includes a library of UI elements,
from buttons and form, to generics shapes and a range of
widgets for iOS, SAP, and Android. Custom styling is
included, so you can add rounded corners, cropped images
or colour gradients, or import graphics by dragging them
into the browser. Prototypes can be exported as HTML.

8. 7. Penultimate
Penultimate is a great tool if you’re working purely for iPad
design. With it, you can sketch out ideas directly onto the
device’s screen itself, which is of course the perfect way to
ensure that you’re working to the right ratio and are
creating active areas to a useable size. The sketches you
create can all be very easily saved and sent out to clients
for feedback and approval.

9. 8. OmniGraffle
OmniGraffle is effectively an ideas tool that enables you to
quickly bash together website wireframes, diagrams,
process charts or page layouts. You select a document
type, and it makes context-sensitive joins between
separate elements, automatically linking lines in diagrams
& aligning shapes and elements in page layouts.

10. 9. Invision
Collecting live data while developing a website can be very
insightful for the final result. Invision can help you share
you designs to gather feedback from you clients and
colleagues. It also helps you make your mockups live to
gather unbiased data from various random beta testers.
Cost to Invision is different at different levels based on
projects.

11. 10. Pencil project
Pencil is a free, open source wireframing tool available for
Windows, Linux and Mac. Features include multi-page
documents, external object import, as well as aligning, z-
ordering, scaling and rotation. Various templates are
included as well as the ability to export to HTML, PNG,
Openoffice.org document, Word document, and PDF.
