There’s lots of ways to create a mockup. It’s true there is no “best” way, but depending on certain UI and UX designer’s styles and preferences (and the design process), some will work better than others.<\/p>\n

In this piece, we’ll look at the pros and cons of mockup tools, graphic design tools, as well as coded mockups that start to blur the lines with prototyping.<\/p>\n

1. Use bespoke tools<\/h2>\n

Using a tool like our own UXPin<\/a>, or other solutions like Moqups<\/a><\/span> or Balsamiq<\/a><\/span>, will provide you everything you need to build your mockup and facilitate the entire process. These tools are designed to make the creation process as easy as possible, so you can focus more on stylistic decisions and less on how to manipulate the program.<\/p>\n

Both experts and beginners feel most comfortable with mockup tools, as beginners prefer their ease of use, while experts appreciate the designs specifically tailored to their advanced needs.<\/p>\n

Moqups and Balsamiq provide more functionality than non-design tools that are sometimes used for wireframes and mockups (such as Keynote), but they are limited to only low fidelity designs. They can, however, be quite useful if the goal is to create low-fidelity wireframes very quickly.<\/p>\n

When it comes to mockup tools, many are targeted for wireframing than true mockups. With built-in collaboration, UXPin<\/a> offers dozens of element libraries to save time, and its a simple matter of dragging, dropping, and customizing to create your mockup. Our 20+ element libraries cover both web and mobile.<\/p>\n<\/section>
