Balsamiq

“Prior to having Balsamiq we spent thousands on professionals creating wireframes for us, detracting from the amount we were able to give to charity at the end of the day.

Now that we have got it, we do all of our wire-framing in house. Balsamiq will save us so much money in the long term and directly benefit the 8000+ charities we support. Thanks to all of the Balsamiq team for your fabulous user-friendly (and fun) programme!”
—The Big Give Team

“I was wondering how you got into my brain and turned my dream into reality? Seriously, your product was made for me.”

—Michael H.

“Balsamiq Mockups has just received the Internet Magazin “Empfehlung der Redaktion” award, which is similar to an “editor’s choice” award. Thanks for you great software, it really deserves this award. It’s a great product that deserves to be made known to a huge audience.”
—Franz Neumeier, Editor-in-Chief, Internet Magazin

“I love balsamiq. I own a small software company that produces semi-custom software. We used to kill ourselves using spreadsheets, huge visio diagrams and a monster requirements document. Now we have cool mock-ups with some notes. We’ve wrapped up projects with [redacted for privacy], [again], [again] and many others using it. Our customers love it, our developers love it and our analysts love it.”
—Joe G., VP Sales & Marketing

“It’s really helping me out to make wire frames at lightning speed. As a matter of fact, it even helped me successfully introduce the whole concept of wire framing at the company I work for, so kudos for that!”
—Ido S., Web UI Developer

“I wish I had known about Balsamiq when I was working on [redacted for privacy]! Would have saved a lot of hours, I think… Thanks a boodle!”
—Patricia Q., Wonderbabe

“I have to admit, I was nervous at first in taking the risk and doing this “on the fly” with such little prep time to learn the tool. But, previous design sessions didn’t get as far as needed, and I felt we really had to act quickly and do something really different from our approaches. There was no need to worry! We made amazing progress during the meeting itself, creating 5ish mockup screens in very short time. Using the tool really helped keep folks focused and on-task, identifying additional requirements and solving detailed UI design issues right then and there. We were then able to save the versions (thanks to the just-in-time license key!). Everyone was very very impressed with power and ease of use.”
—Shawn Cox, IT Director, ACLU

“My wife needed to create a snack list for our kid’s day care teacher. We had been using post-its, filled out by hand, but I thought it would be easier to use a Mockup with check boxes. It took 10 minutes and we can reuse it.”
—Stefano G., Dad

“My Dad enjoyed your product so much, he purchased a copy for me as well. Congrats on making such a great and intuitive app!”
—Ryan W.

—Chris Hartjes, @TheKeyboard review

—Swaroop C H, Co-founder, IONLAB

“The first day I had it, it saved me a ton of time and sold a client that was on the fence. I did 3 mockups in half the time it usually takes me to outline one site. Would I recommend it? Hell YA!!!”
—Riel Roussopoulos, CEO, iXLd Media Inc.

“Wow. It’s blowing my tiny mind. Seriously good. And so easy! ”

—Jay Simons, VP of Marketing, Atlassian

“Balsamiq Mockups is an incredible application for creating user interface mockups.”
—KONIGI review

“I want a user interface mockup tool that is flexible enough to let me illustrate a wide variety of concepts but not at the sacrifice of simplicity. I want a tool that is quick, light, and easy to use. I want a tool that lets me focus on the idea and not the fidelity or polish. Balsamiq is that tool! I love it. Recently I wanted to draw an interface with tree-based navigation — arguably a very common model. To my surprise I was quickly reminded how difficult that basic task is to do in Fireworks, Pencil, OmniGraffle, and Flash! Unbelievable. What took minutes… literally minutes to do in Balsamiq, was frustrating and complex in the other products. Bottom line, Balsamiq is a winner, I wish I had created it, and it’s worth at least twice what I paid for it. So buy it now before they figure that out.”
—Russell Wilson, Vice President of Product Design, NetQoS

“fast and fun.”
—James Whittaker, from his FreshAIRapps review

“It’s really simple and basically let’s quickly make “back of the napkin” type sketches of your user interface. It’s called Balsamiq 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.”
—Andre Charland, InsideRIA

“É excelente para facilitar a comunicação entre equipas, nomeadamente entre não-programadores e programadores.”

“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.”
