I could go on for pages about what each product does or does not accomplish, but in summary and as a point of reference for those of you who undertake UI/UX and prototyping tasks: Hence I prefer to use Balsamiq for UI designs which do not require extensive notes or specifications which would compete with the UI elements for space. If you have a detailed wireframe with lots of notes, things start to look messy.
Having said that, a programmer will normally prefer to receive specifications whether they be tagged to an element or written in a wiki, rather than code based on an interpretation of a wireframe.īalsamiq on the other hand allows the wireframing of user interfaces, with notes that can be input on the wireframe as well. Having tried and tested both applications on different project requirements, I can say that each has application certainly has its place.įor instance, Axure allows the tagging of elements with functional specifications, which is excellent when a wireframe itself will not provide adequate information to allow a programmer to code the feature.
Over the past year we’ve reviewed multiple products, and have gravitated toward two which offer a brilliant feature set at a very affordable price: Axure RP Pro and Balsamiq. An important component of my role as UX Designer and Project Manager at Enzyme IT involves prototyping application concepts for clients, as well as in-house product ideas.
