Mockups, wireframes, pen and paper it’s all the same basically.
So which one should you choose when creating your product?
The answer is, it depends. Let’s dive in to understand the differences.
Do you work directly with a design team?
Whats your design/UI level?
Who should you present this for?
Do you work directly with developers?
Whats your budget?
Do you work directly with a design team?
Design is usually the second step after wireframe (Changes from company to company, and may be different depends on the product type).
if you work with designers, it can be very helpful to understand what tools they are using for their UI design.
Why? It makes everything easier, and i’ll explain why.
Collaboration - Collaborating on the same tool is easier, you can see the progress from wire-framing to design, comment, mark changes etc’
Reuse of components - The best thing a wire-frame creator can ask, is a template of the current designs to work with, it makes everything faster - you just take the “post component” and add your changes on it.
Experience - Designers work with those tools, if they use a tool, there is a reason for that - try to ask them why. If you have no background in wire framing it might be harder to work with their tools, but in case you do - i suggest following this recommendation.
Whats your Design/UI level?
Creating wireframes can be made on google slides, power point, pen and paper or anywhere else you choose.
But, if your design level and UI experience is above entry level, you can use more advanced tools like Figma, Sketch and many more.
No experience? No stress, there are tools that require much less knowledge with UI design, and will stay with UX design basics. That should do the work in most cases.
