What do people here use for.......

Very impressive! Thanks for the link.

[Brisingr Aerowing]

Visio has that feature. On the free side, there is The Pencil Project[^]

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

[Don M]

I use Pencil, which can be run as a FireFox plugin, or it's also available as a stand alone app.

[Richard Andrew x64]

Thank you, I will give that a try.

That's right, I forgot about Visio.

Excel, or VS

In code we trust !

[Pete OHanlon]

Commercially, I use Balsamiq[^]. For my personal stuff, I use NinjaMock[^] - this has the added benefit of being free, as well as very good. The beauty about these tools is that you can target particular form factors with them.

I'm using opensource project Pencil check it

[Swinkaran]

I always start with notepad, then transfer them to the Gliffy http://www.gliffy.com/[^]

That link is really helpful

[Mr _Blank]

I've used draw.io for mobile and web app mocks. Can integrate with Google drive.

[Mark H2]

I use pen/pencil and paper. I find it helps me visualise what I'm after better. Mind you, in my younger days I drew a lot and was often asked why on earth I hadn't been a graphic artist.

[SteveTheThread]

I second you on both of those.

Last time I did it, I actually coded it during the design phase, with copious comments and stubs for most of the UI stuff that didn't call up a subsequent form. The finished product was almost a 100% copy/paste of the POC code and saved us a couple of weeks of time.

I used to pop into Notepad to generate some HTML so I could render some screens for management to approve. That gave me the ability to have graphics, buttons, and dropdowns for them to play with.

Whiteboard and a digital camera (at least until I have a whiteboard that can print itself out). Or paper/napkin and pencils/pens

[KLPounds]

If designing an application from scratch or brainstorming some new feature or application requirement, pencil and paper.. I've done more "napkin mockups" than I care to admit. I found food really gets the creative juices flowing. :laugh: When its time to sell it to the stakeholders, I will either mock up in PowerPoint with graphical tweaks with Paint.NET, or just use VS form designer.

Indigo Studio - doesn't have the comic sans look that Balsamiq has http://www.infragistics.com/products/indigo-studio[^] They also have a free version (I think it's still available): http://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs/indigo-studio/archive/2012/11/30/free-wireframing-and-prototyping-tool.aspx[^]
