One of the most important parts of app design is its design concept. That is why software prototyping tools exist: to help you visualize how your app is going to look when you finish. Only a few features of the app are actually emulated, and it mostly serves as a foundation to build around.
Built-in assets and flexible licensing
Mockplus is an example of a software prototyping tool that serves to simplify the entire process of prototyping with built-in components and icons ready to use. It operates on a freemium model, offering a free plan to get started with core features. If you need more advanced capabilities or team workspaces, you can upgrade to a subscription-based tier, with the final cost depending on the number of user seats and active promotions.
Drag-and-drop interface and interactions
Its most distinctive characteristic is its simple and elegant UI, where you can drag and drop virtually anything. You can find many different buttons and controls to add to your app. It's multi-platform, and you get to choose which platform you want to design for. There are some simple triggers and commands you can implement that can simulate basic app behavior, such as opening a different window after pressing a button.
A code-free solution for collaborative design
You can preview the app inside Mockplus, or you can export it as an HTML document. It supports multi-user development, making it great for larger teams of developers and designers. If you are worried you are not experienced enough, you should know that you can create your design without a single line of code!
