— Laura Khalil, from her review of Mockups For Confluence on the Atlassian Blog

— Chris Hartjes, @TheKeyboard review

— Riel Roussopoulos, CEO iXLd Media Inc.

 

“It's really simple and basically let's quickly make "back of the napkin" type sketches of your user interface. It's called Basalmiq Mockups and will be released June 19th. Should a great to make quick mock ups of you RIA ideas, or even to pass over to clients to get their ideas and input in a concrete format.”

...

Brilliantly executed site and software. Best of luck.”

— Micro-ISV owners on the Business of Software forums

 

“I have been looking for this kind of tool for EVER”

“Peldi has built a fabulous application called Balsamiq Mockups. I can’t speak highly enough about how useful and fun this tool is to use. You have to try it for yourself. Over the last week he and I have exchanged many emails and IMs about the product. Its the type of relationship I hope to build with my customers one day.”

—David Heller - Entrepeneur in Training, MuchoSalsa

 

“I spent a bunch of time trying to find templates and shapes that would make Visio as easy to use as Balsamiq Mockups. I could not find anything that came close. So, I decided to use Balsamiq Mockups while working in a live session with a client, and it performed spectacularly.”

— Ruven Gotz, SharePoint Consultant

 

“I LOVE Balsamiq! Simple to use. Fast. Inexpensive. I especially like the Quick Add feature. And the hand-drawn nature of the elements is brilliant. You are right - it is best to avoid anything too clean or people will get caught up in the design.”

— Ozzie Thoreson - Founder, OzzoDesign

 

“I often come up with new ideas and want to visualize them, and Photoshop, gliffy, omnigraffle were all a bit heavy and or slow. Yours is the best I have used so far.”
