The Micro-ISV Balsamiq owned by former Adobe design lead Giacomo ‘Peldi’ Guilizzoni has built a powerful set of user interface (UI) mock-up tools that can shorten the development life cycle of browser and desktop client applications. This tool is real innovation at work, perfect for online game development shops to iterate UI designs. Built with state of the art thin client techniques Balsamiq brings powerful WYSIWYG design to browser based development collaboration tools including JIRA, Confluence, or XWiki or straight to your desktop via their Adobe Air powered desktop client.
With a free trial and follow-on free key offered to bloggers I took Balsamiq for a spin, using it to build a mock-up of a next generation game company portal (posting soon). This is a simple to use yet fairly complete set of mock-up tools. The drag and drop work flow makes quick work of full web pages, desktop apps, and dialog boxes.
