Tailored for Wireframing
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am in the field of Service Design and Engineering. HotGloo helps me to quickly build wireframes for various customer touchpoints. The tool and its big variety of elements and symbols helps me to quickly build wireframes of mobile apps or websites. It is a real value add that the created designs can be used as preview as well. In this way I only have to design once. This helps because in this stage (prototyping) fast mockups are key. I usually use HotGloo in addition to other tools as well. So, HotGloo covers one stage or task during a design sprint usually. Once the wireframes are iterated and tested sufficiently I continue to detail the interfaces in other tools. I could probably do the wireframing in the other tool as well. But, I stuck to HotGloo because of the elements and symbol libary which has - in my opinion - just the right depth and detail to not distract the tests.
