Wireframing your Rails Apps
July 25th, 2009
A really useful way to mockup your applications before coding is to use wire framing software to create the screens and layout of your application. By doing this, you can ensure everyone working on the project can help to decide upon what the first version should functionally look like, and everyone will know what the end goal should approximately look like.
With this sort of discussion, you really need a tool that will just let you focus on the functional aspect, and avoid too much discussion about colors, branding, etc, all of which can come later.
A really useful tool I have been using is Balsamiq Mockups, it allows you to quickly create screens for your app and includes all the standard page controls you would expect. Here is an example of what you can produce:
There is a nice video demo on the site as well.
