Designers have a lot of tools at their disposal. With so many options, it's easy to get overwhelmed and confused about which ones to use. These are the best tools for UI designers and product teams, plus some quick tips on how to use them effectively.
Wireframe tools
Wireframing is an essential step in the design process, because it lets you experiment with different layouts and features without committing to a specific design. There are plenty of wireframe tools available, but here are a few that we recommend:
Mockup Tools
Mockups help you visualize your designs by showing users how the final product will look and act. There are many mockup tools out there, you can get used to one.
Other Product Team Tools include:
InVision – Prototyping and collaboration tool.
POP – Product management software and services.
Google Analytics – Data analysis and reporting tool from Google.
Intercom – Customer communication platform that helps you build better products, keep your team in sync.
UXPin is a design tool for creating wireframes, prototypes, user flows and high-fidelity mockups. It has everything you need to get started with wireframing and prototyping, from drag-and-drop components to advanced functionality like style guides and collaboration features. And it integrates with Sketch so you can work in one app if you prefer.
Airtable allows teams to organize their data into tables that can be easily shared with others in real time through either the web or mobile apps (Android/iOS). Airtables are easy to create, update and share across teams.
