15 Top UX resources for rapid prototyping

by Matthew Ogston on May 17, 2010

I’ve recently completed a chunk of research to shortlist tools that could help our team plan and communicate the user experience (UX) more effectively for PageDo. We have a distributed team – we’re not all based at the same location, therefore we need a tool that help us communicate ideas and concepts when face-to-face contact is not possible.

I’ve listed a number of the tools that made it to our shortlist below. If you’re in a similar situation, hopefully this will save you a few hours searching for the same answers

Mockingbird (wireframing)
Protoshare (wireframing and feedback)
LovelyCharts (charts, workflows and flow diagrams)
Gliffy (flow diagram creation)
Prototype Composer (requirements gathering)
Product Planner (a collection of user submitted userflows)
Wireframing Kit for Google Drawings (rapid UI prototyping templates for Google Docs)
iPlotz (wireframing and UI prototyping)
Pidoco (clickable UI prototyping)
HotGloo (online wireframing)
Balsamiq Mockups (rapid wireframe and UI sketching tool)
Axure (client based UI prototyping tool, Mac & PC)
MockFlow (Collaborative wireframing)
Yahoo UI Design Stencils (for Omnigraffle, Visio, Fireworks, InDesign and Axure)
Coutline (collaborative tool for HTML based prototyping)
