Annotations allow you to received feedback on each mockup and comments can be added to the pages. If you’re part of a team, or if you want to show a client a mockup, you can share it in private or public mode. You can import images to add to your mockup and you can define links within each page to create a fully clickable prototype. All of the components are drag and drop and mockups can be created surprisingly quickly. The menu system appears along the top of the window with the components and pages appearing in a sidebar. Below you can see the layout as viewed in the Chrome browser. The interface is very clean and as it’s online you can use it anywhere.

There are two services available: Basic, which is free and Premium which costs $4.91 per month ($59 per year). (Note: This is not a paid review, nor have I been asked to write a review – it’s something I’m interested in myself as a designer and think you might be, too.)

However, there are a growing number of online and desktop applications available which offer you tools for wireframing your designs. Many designers find it quicker and easier to use a pen and paper to get the structure of their designs out of their heads and into a solid form. Wireframing is an important part of the design process.
