Summary


Once again we have covered a lot of material, and you are now left with even more to explore and discover on your own. By now you should have a wireframe and a prototype that incorporate some very cool interactivity, as well as a solid understanding of the tools and widgets that Balsamiq provides. Your next step is to take what you have learned and start building some wireframes on your own. This may take time, practice, and a desire for continued learning, but as you have seen, Balsamiq is easy to learn and fun to use.

In the next and final chapter, I have provided some valuable resources that will help you get to that next level. I am sure you will find them to be educational and motivational as well.

Thanks for joining me on this adventure known as the Balsamiq Wireframes Quickstart Guide. It's been a lot of fun. I hope you agree.

Good luck!
