    Denim is a tool that is like sketching with hyperlinks

    Oversite is cool and worth a play

    The Eclipse editor now has a wireframing tool, I forget it's name.... it's on my blog

    My personal favourite is OmniGraffle, worth buying a mac for.

    Oversite looks really interesting. Thanks for the information, Tom!

    And did you mean the Visual Editor for Eclipse?

    Mockup is a great idea. In the first two approaches the look of mockup wont be professional and will not attract interest of client/end user. So many times we have to develop mockups too like a real website puttingin lot of effort. In this kinda situations, above web2.0 sites will be of real help reducing effort while showcasing mockup with professional looks.

    Shall use it in my next assignment, if required.
  • Veera · 1 year ago
    Yes Chaitanya. As you told, Web 2 sites makes it easier to create website wireframe.

    But there is another concern with these web services that I missed to mention in that article. How many enterprises will agree to put their sensitive data to these third party web service companies (in this case creating wireframes will put the companies data to another company's server) !?

    I've been using Omnigraffle for a while to do both wireframing and mockups. It's excellent.

    Thanks for the new information. Haven't heard about Omnigraffle before.

    Is it for Mac only or windows version also available?

    We can use photoshop. Create it in photoshop and then export it as html wire frames.
  • Veera · 1 year ago
    Yup. I do it using PS sometimes.

    I would like a software/web 2 service which is specifically made for mockups, like Balsamiq, since it provides more bilt-in UI components we can just drag and drop on our layout.

    For PS also, I beleive there should be some brushes/patter files available for this purpose.

    There's a great tool snagit, that I have been using since a long time for creating mockups/screen capture etc...

    Snagit http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp

    I've used snagit. Will it generates HTML too or just a image capturing utility?
  • Sudhir · 1 year ago
    Nope, It doesnt generate HTML, but its not just screen capturing utility, it comes with lots of other features like callouts etc...
