Overall Satisfaction with InVision Freehand

We use Freehand for the beginning of our design process. It may be a quick mapping of a process or screen sequence that begins to illustrate the UX based on requirements. It's a very fast and iterative method that we can also socialize with our client to get buy-in before elevating the fidelity of the concepts.
  • Decision trees and conditional logic mapping.
  • User Experience and sequence of screens.
  • Wireframe and other templates that are quick to drag and drop in.
  • Sharing freehand with client as a link.
  • Easy to draw layouts and connect the interactions as an experience map.
  • Easily create notes and document interactions, rules, and requirements that are being met.
  • A method for stamping or assigning statues and approvals.
  • Adding a way to have a bit more than a comment so that a client or PM could drop in a detailed product requirement to keep in mind while drawing.
  • Being able to quickly build out tables for a design.
  • and interactive click through a concept like the UX plugin Overflow (overflow.io).
  • Use the same sharing functionality as the rest of Invision. Freehand doesn't have the same sharing method, and that's really annoying.
  • Fast and easy to use.
  • more like drawing and less like a design or software app or tool.
  • templates that are ready to use.
  • collaborative design process, allowing multiple designers at once.
  • follow a designer - and then use a simple phone call or teams meeting for audio.
  • The client has become reliant on having a freehand to help visualize ideas.
  • I use the term with the design team. "No picture, No concept. Draw the picture."
Freehand is one of my preferred tools to use in the early stages of design.

Freehand has a great collection of ready-to-use templates. For the most part, and the majority of the time, my team uses the wireframe template to quickly get a design concept off the ground. We can quickly map out a process or decision tree and iterate and add in more thinking. The process is quick and easy to use, as well as easy to share and get client buy-in until we reach the point that we agree is ready for a higher fidelity of prototyping.
