Great article … I might add that http://www.invisionapp.com is great for mockups and wireframes …

Ratchet maker.github.com/ratchet/ – The URL here seems to be malformed. Good article.

Just thought I’d let ya know that we recently released a new rapid, code-free prototyping tool called Indigo Studio (http://www.infragistics.com/products/indigo-studio). Totally agree with what you’re pushing for her—that’s why we made Indigo, and we’re very focused on making it easy and fast to iterate over design ideas.
Hope you and your readers will give us a try. Oh, and V1 is totally free, forever.

Spot on. I’ve recently found jQuery mobile pretty handy at prototyping for native iOS too.

Great Article, I respect and completely agree with the use of wire frames and planning.
Thank You for the great post!

Excellent article! Our designers typically present a series of static images based off of a wireframe and functional documentation. I wonder how including this in our development process would affect our timelines and project budgets. I’ll be discussing using Keynote with our team. Thanks!

I work as a prototyper for Opera Software UxG. I create interactive prototypes of application UIs, using CoffeScript and Sass.
Prototypes help us present a vision of the future and test our concepts—without spending too much developer time.

I agree with the importance of wireframes because the make it easier to become a house style for a website. When you start with the basics, it is easier to change it a little bit for other pages and you keep the same style.
To many designers start immediately with designing don’t bother with a wireframe, so every page looks like it is a totally different website.
Great article. Completely agree on the importance of wireframes and prototypes. Would had loved to read your take on “in-browser” wireframes and prototypes as well of the use of rapid prototyping tools such as twitter bootstrap or zurb foundation.
Great job!
