GUI Design Studio version 5
User Interface Designs and Instant Prototypes Without Coding
What is it?
GUI Design Studio is a code-free, drag and drop user interface design and prototyping tool for creators of Web, Desktop, Mobile and Embedded software applications.
Who's it for?
Software Designers, User Experience Professionals, Business Analysts, Developers, Project Managers and Consultants. Anyone designing or specifying user interfaces.
Why use it?
Quickly lay down ideas and test them out in a low-cost, risk-free environment and avoid expensive implementation rework by getting the right design agreed upon first.
Step 1: Turn Ideas Into Visuals
So you've got a rough understanding of your application's requirements. Ideas are forming in your head. Now it's time to get them down in the form of screen or web page visuals.
Start a new project and create some designs.
With each design file, GUI Design Studio gives you a big canvas to work with. Really big.
And because of the unique way it uses what's on the canvas, you can decide what's important and what's just a passing thought to hang onto for later.
Push different ideas into the margins and mix them around. Or use them as a new train of thought in a quickly duplicated version of a design.
120+ Built-in Design Elements
Create screens using standard Windows controls, Web elements and other generic elements. Provided variations speed up construction. Combine elements to create custom controls and further variants.
Custom Widgets and Libraries
Create your own set of commonly used elements, and groups of elements. Turn any design file into a custom element for reuse. Package custom element libraries for sharing with others.
Reuse Components and Masters
Break your projects down into smaller component designs that can be reused on any number of other designs. Changes to the original component are instantly reflected wherever they’re used.
Step 2: Add User Interactions
The closer you are to a working application, the more insight you'll get into how well it meets requirements.
Static mockups are a great start but they don't tell the whole story. User flow is important in an application, so you also want to describe what happens on each screen and explore their relationships.
You want to communicate these ideas in a manner that's quick to grasp and easy to understand.
Graphically Depict Screen Flow
Go beyond simple screen links and slideshows with multiple types of navigation, modal layers and on-screen effects. Make connections from practically any element.
Multiple Use Case Scenarios
Add use case scenarios to any action and change the flow of the application accordingly. Enter business rules for each scenario condition, based on user-entered data and option selections.
Dynamic and Tabbed Interfaces
Easily create tabbed interfaces and dynamic content panels that may be nested inside one-another for complex applications. You can even control them from simple data value assignments.
Step 3: Test your prototype
With one click you can instantly test the design you're currently working on or run the whole project prototype from your designated starting point.
No coding and no waiting for compilation.
This makes the turnaround between design and testing extremely fast for maximum productivity. Make a small tweak to your design and test it instantly.
Only when you test with a working mockup do you uncover all the hidden questions that are lurking behind your design...
Instant Prototype Execution
Press 'Run' and your prototype opens in its own full screen window (to avoid distractions), with a pseudo-browser mode for web-based designs.
Fast Scenario Testing
Save time testing different scenarios by creating sets of data you can apply at any time to quickly fill forms in a repeatable way, and without error.
Export Snapshots
Capture the moment by grabbing a snapshot of your running prototype as an exported image. Use this to highlight areas of the design for further discussion.
