A Primer on Wireframing for Conversion Optimization - ConversionXL

Tools for Wireframing/Prototyping
Again, the tool isn’t as important as the general purpose of concept communication. Here are some tools that make it really easy to make and share mockups though:

  • Balsamiq
  • MockFlow
  • OmniGaffle
  • Mockingbird
  • UXPin
  • Don’t Forget Paper and Pen

Most of the time, sketching ideas out on paper comes before any official (or digital) wireframe. But it’s still generally an important part of the process, as it allows you to explore more freely different iterations and throw out crappy ones before you communicate across your team.
Marteq's insight:

The title is a bit of a misnomer: the article is really a primer on wireframing for anything. Good stuff.

Interactive Wireframing Comes of Age - ClickZ

Interactive Wireframing Comes of Age - ClickZ | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

If you are still making plain old static wireframes, it's time to start adding life to them: a clearer understanding of your project's flow will save you time and money later.


For the last 12 years, my company has used "interactive wireframes" as part of our design process. These have traditionally been simple HTML pages that contain graphic versions of the mockups, and use image-mapped hotspots to let the users click around. Sometimes we'll create full HTML versions instead of use images if the interactivity is easier shown in HTML. While this is a time-consuming task, interactive wireframes give our clients a much better sense of what the finished application, site, or process will feel like.


Recently, an iOS app called POP (short for Prototyping on Paper) was released that is the perfect tool to help us (and you) make this interactive wireframing task that much easier. The tool is simple: snap photos of your wireframes and link them to each other using rectangular hotspots. You can then walk through your prototype and click around as if it were a real application.

Marteq's insight:

This app is super cool to use! We're always wireframing (as you probably are as well), but to have the wireframe interactive? Superb! Much better than using .ppt with links to different slides.
