Balsamiq is a software company that provides wireframing tools for designing user interfaces. It focuses on creating low-fidelity wireframes that are intended to facilitate a more productive discussion around design decisions.

Balsamiq

Balsamiq is a solid, independent little software company. We believe that life’s too short for bad software!

We started in 2008 as a one-man-shop, and have been growing organically ever since. 

Balsamiq Wireframes is our small graphical tool to sketch out user interfaces, for websites and web / desktop / mobile applications. We focus on the ideation phase, providing you with a clean tool that lets you get in the flow and stay focussed on structure rather than colors and icons. Balsamiq provides enough interactivity to replace prototypes most of the time, and makes it easy to collaborate and get feedback on your wireframes.

Forget about aimless meetings and circular discussions.

A solid design brief brings focus, alignment, and clarity—right from the start of your project.

And after seeing hundreds (maybe thousands) of these, we’ve found that the best briefs are clear and easy to read. Here’s the checklist:

- A clear project description
- Project background and business context
- Your main objective – the 'why'
- Essential features your project must have
- Design considerations
- Success metrics

We put together a quick video with UX educator and author, Billy Carlson, to walk you through it: https://lnkd.in/dRyASzJi
