The main tool we use within our user experience (UX) team is an application called Axure.  It allows us to create wireframes, prototypes and specifications for our clients before we start the design and development stages.  There are several reasons for engaging in this type of methodology such as:

  • It is a blueprint for your site which can be used as a reference throughout the production (design, development, QA, testing) stage.
  • It can highlight possible problems and therefore a chance to fix them before development avoiding those very costly mistakes.
  • Better ability to accurately estimate the cost to produce the site.

I have been working with Axure for several years know and have built up allot of templates and widgets that I use to help speed up the prototyping phase and here are a few I would like to share with you.
