More Wireframe Tools, or “As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product”

A good quote that always stands out in my mind relative to the importance of the user experience of a product is “As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product“.   Capturing and conveying the interface and user experience is key to a successful project delivery.

Today there are an ever increasing number of tools available to support capture, refinement and collaboration.  Below are a few of the tools currently available (my top three are called out at the end):

• Pencil Project
• Just in Mind
• Lumzy
• Mockup Builder
• Cacoo
• Mockabilly
• Mockingbird
• Lovely Charts
• Gliffy
• Mockflow
• Simple Diagram
• HotGloo
• iRise
• Mockup Screens
• Azure
• Pidoco
• Protoshare
• ForeUI
• DUB Denim
• GUI Design Studio

Lots of choices, however the top three from my perspective remain:

1. OmniGraffle
2. Balsamiq
3. Paper and Pen, Whiteboard, Napkins – an interesting approach related to these mediums is “Paper Prototyping“.

Any other tools you feel are worthy of being called out?
