Mockup Tool Recommendation

All, not sure if this is the best group for this Q but here goes...

Which tools would you recommend for lo-fi screen mockups?

Do you have some samples to demonstrate what you were able to build with your tool of choice?

I'm thinking lo-fi mockups as I want something to show on my landing page before building the product. (I'm a dev by trade, not a designer.)

grateful for any advice/recommendations

      great post @prnysarkar.

      However, even your post uses what I would call hi-fidelity mockups. I'm deliberately wanting less detail so that I'm not committing to a specific UI design or UX at this stage as I haven't built anything yet.

      (there may be a name for such lo-fi designs I'm just not aware but I'm thinking something like what this sample has: https://sketchrepo.com/free-sketch/product-landing-page-template-freebie/ I know this has come from Sketch, but I'm wondering if I can get the same using other tools)

        Before using figma, I used to use MS paint :) my colleague used to laugh but I found easy , at the early stage all I want to make Square and circle different color and paint does it very easily, try it once might fit you.

    Lo-fi prototype -> I would recommend Wireframe CC and Marvelapp. Drop and drop. You can craft several interfaces in just a short period of time @thunk

      great, thanks Felix. Hadn't heard of Wireframe CC before.

    I am not a designer but involved in the Web App design process. The design team used Figma (https://www.figma.com) to create wireframes, mockups and run-through those. It gives you lot of options to design/configure your UI for various kinds of devices (screen sizes/resolutions, etc). Since it is online, review-collaboration has been pretty easy.

    Personally I found Figma pretty powerful.
    Hope it helps!

      thanks Dhan. I've come across Figma but haven't used it.
