Antetype is the best, most productive tool for UI design I have ever used.
It does everything, from websites to mobile apps, and it's just unbelievable how much time it saves me. There is simply no better tool out there if you're serious about UI design.
Antetype lets me try out ideas fast and iterate even faster.
And refining a design from a loose idea to a polished prototype is what Antetype's widgets are made for: change a property, update the widget and presto, every instance is up to date.
I've found Antetype to be a really clever tool.
It's especially useful in large, long-running projects, where I can build up a comprehensive collection of widgets that can be used, reused and refined over time. If I make a change to a widget, that change happens everywhere, even in designs I made weeks or months ago. Brilliant!
I always thought using Photoshop for UI design was silly.
But after using Antetype, I see that I was wrong. It's not silly. It's laugh out loud ridiculously absurd. Stop using a photo editing app for screen design and start using Antetype, made specifically for UI designers by UI designers.
Antetype is the first design and layouting software focused on visual design, built by UI designers for UI designers. It saves you a lot of time creating and optimizing high-fidelity detailed UI design prototypes. Find out more:
User interfaces are seldom static, so why should your prototypes be? Antetype offers a range of layout modes that allow you to create highly flexible and dynamic layouts. Want to show your design in a different resolution? Simply resize the canvas area and your layout will do the rest.
The widget library included with Antetype provides you with a complete set of ready-to-use widgets to get you started quickly with your prototyping! Adapt and extend the library for the specific needs of your own projects to harvest the full power of Antetype.
Envisioning your user interface with wireframes helps you to figure out how everything will work. Antetype's strengths come in when realistic, pixel-exact mock-ups are needed. It gives you complete artistic freedom to design beautiful apps and makes it easy to quickly adapt them according to your stakeholders' and customers' desires. The larger and more complex your project is, the more benefits you will see.
With Antetype's interaction features, you can easily demonstrate the feel of your prototype. Define actions, events, widget states and change screens. Use presentation mode to leverage Antetype's built-in automated widget state switches (e.g. between normal, mouseover and pressed). Export your prototype for cross-platform viewing in a web browser or use the iOS Viewer to evaluate your design on the target devices, including all of your interactions.
