Wireframing

As a guy who is incapable of producing decent designs and plans, I've looked around for the best Wireframing solutions. I've compiled the list below:

Wireframe.cc

Wireframe.cc is great to the extent that exporting is not allowed in the free version and there is branding scattered all over the site. The prices are reasonably low (around £10 a month for a single user), but the toolkit is impressive and it contains features such as version controlls to help organise your designs!

mockflow.com

Mockflow has the largest set of mock features for your site and themes to help you get started. However, disappointingly, you are restricted to one project only. The fully paid version costs alot (around £42 a month) however, if you are a freelance or professional developer, this might suite you. The collaboration features are also a step above the rest.

moqups.com

Moqups is a reasonably new contender, however the interface is easy to use and contains all the features that will help generate a reasonable wireframe. Moqups is also extreemly well priced (for 10 projects, its is around £5 or $9, there is a free version avaliable too).

gomockingbird.com

If you are looking to generate superior wireframes, then look no further. Mockingbird, from what I can see, is intended for use buy site developers and no by enthusiasts. It contains a suprising number of elements and supports excellent collaboration. There are many plans (all starting around $9), however the free version comes with one site and 10 pages, which is enough to get started with!

uxpin.com

UXPin from base up is built for multiple platforms. It is probably the most well known service and it has had a good reputation for a while now. There is no real free edition (only a 7-day free trial), however it costs ($14.99 per month). I have used this for certain projects before and I've not found any issues.


I've only managed to give a very basic insight into the tools avaliable (others include Balsamiq and Hotgloo), however if there are any that you think I should consider, please leave a comment below.
