If you’ve ever wanted to build a prototype quickly, Wondershare Mockitt is the tool for you.
The new online prototyping tool is made to help you create interactive prototypes in a hurry – as little as 10 minutes – using drag and drop tools.
Here, we’ll take a look at Wondershare Mockitt and how you can make it work for you. You’ll learn how almost anyone with visual design skills can create a prototype easily, with just a few clicks!
What is Wondershare Mockitt?
Wondershare Mockitt is a combination between prototyping, mockup, and UI kits all-in-one. It includes a massive library of icons, components, screens, and templates that you can mix and match to create unique designs quickly.
The tool allows you to design wireframes or interactive prototypes with plenty of widgets. You can think of it as speed prototyping.
Almost anyone with visual design skills can create a prototype easily.
- Create a new prototype.
- Select elements from the toolbar and crag and drop them into place on the canvas.
- Preview your design and share it with the team for feedback or revisions.
“We aim to ease your design process so you can work faster while still working effectively,” said Tobee Wu, CEO of Wondershare:
“When I started Wondershare I had a lot of ideas for apps, but I found that it was hard to put these ideas into words my friends would understand. A tool like Wondershare Mockitt didn’t exist yet. Now, I’m proud to be creating this platform to help other aspiring app developers like me bring their ideas to life.”
While the Mockitt tool is new Wondershare has been around since 2003, as a global leader in software development. Products and solutions from the company are used by millions of people in more than 150 countries around the world.
Tools for UX/UI Designers
While Wondershare Mockitt is made for ease of use, it is a tool for UX/UI designers. Not only is it made for quick project development, but it is also packed with collaboration tools so you can see and adapt to design changes in real-time. Your team can work together to make project launches happen even faster.
It’s a browser-based tool that works pretty much anywhere and organizes notes and communication as you work together on prototypes. Everything lives in the cloud – the platform uses the Olympic Games Cloud service infrastructure – to ensure that you can access files anywhere at any time.
But the biggest advantage for UX/UI designers with a vision for a prototype is time management and savings. Mockitt has a lightweight interface that’s amazingly intuitive. Most designers can jumpstart a project with the design and drop tools and have a base design ready in just a few minutes.
