		<description><![CDATA[Today at the Indianapolis Productivity Summit with Robby Slaughter I learned of a really cool website that let&#8217;s you do quick and casual mock-ups. The website is called Balsamiq and the example used in the session today was for mocking up a quick idea for a website with general blocks of content, navigation and image placeholders.
The idea presented in the summit by Robby Slaughter was that part of the benefits of loose mockups of user-interfaces, websites and more is that when you keep it casual and quick you don&#8217;t get mired down in the details.

<p>The idea presented in the summit by<a title="Slaughter Development" href="http://www.slaughterdevelopment.com" target="_blank"><strong> Robby Slaughter</strong></a> was that part of the benefits of loose mockups of user-interfaces, websites and more is that when you keep it casual and quick you don&#8217;t get mired down in the details.</p>
<p>The <a title="Balsamiq Mockups" href="http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups" target="_blank">balsamiq website</a> from what I saw today gives you exactly that functionality and more.</p>
<blockquote><p>Using Balsamiq Mockups <span class="highlight">feels like you are drawing</span>, but it&#8217;s digital, so you can tweak and rearrange controls easily, and the end result is much cleaner. Teams can come up with a design and iterate over it in real-time in the course of a meeting.</p></blockquote>
<p>The next time you need to get a visual of what something will look like, how exactly how you envision that user-interface working, go uncover <a title="Balsamiq" href="http://www.balsamiq.com" target="_blank">Balsamiq </a>for yourself and see if it doesn&#8217;t help you get your ideas communicated to others in a more clear and helpful manner than just words or your own efforts at business <a title="Pictionary on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictionary" target="_blank">Pictionary</a> on a cocktail napkin.</p>
