When I was first learning UX, this little tool was extremely useful. Despite how well-trained your eyes may be, there is still something about reducing a website down to its very basic layout and shape that is very helpful. When you discover a website you intuitively like, you can quickly see what comprises it -- and vice versa. This tool isn't going to magically feed you answers to web design problems, but what it did for me is it helped me to start understanding what makes a truly "simple" or "clean" design at a base level.
The tool is so insanely easy to install and use that I can see absolutely no reason why all UX Designers should not just have it in their bookmarks bar. It can be a bit buggy or haphazard in its rendering, but I'd say 85% of the time it works the way it should.
This is a great tool to help VERY quickly teach other people what a wireframe is -- whether they be budding UX designers or VPs or your grandparents.
Unlike many apps, Wirify's utility to UX Designers is quick and obvious and it's really the only tool that does what it does. Click a button and see what it does (and how its useful) nearly instantaneously. That's a semi-rare thing when it comes to professional tools like this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The components Wirify breaks webpages down into are, at times, too simple. It would be nice if it somehow knew what kind of controls were on the page and displayed more "stencil-like" wireframe graphics, rather than purely grey squares and rectangles.
Totally a pipe dream, but I wish it could be applied to more than just websites. It's such a useful tool I would love to use it on UIs across mediums and devices.
I've definitely seen multiple webpages that Wirify was unable to render properly or fully. Because of the way the tool can really be applied to any webpage (its greatest asset) I suppose this is to be expected, but it can sometimes be a bummer.
Truthfully, I don't see any reason you should sign up for the "Pro Version" except that it helps to support a good product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was able to utilize the pro version with ease. Ran into a little issue but customer service was all over it. Quick, impactful reponses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some apps required version upgrades to utilize the wireframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The organization of the utility icons make it easy to access while working on the wireframe designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lag sometimes causing a delay while designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great tool for starting front developing. It helps so show the different options and give ideas to new developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have only used for a little while so info not have a lot of bad to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s a straight forward and easy to use platform for setting up very quick wireframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The output is never as refined as I would like leaving me to relay out the wireframe it makes usually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The idea of a one button click to turn a site into it's wireframe components is really interesting, but it takes away the context of the site itself. I've only used it on Chrome, and it seems to work well with that browser, but I can't speak to its efficacy in other browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you have an adblocker on, it can turn really weird. I have also been to some sites that weren't properly "wired" on execution. Actually, most sites weren't properly wired, maybe that's due to the sites I visit or other extensions I have running, I'm not sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Product is easy to use and on the more basic side. Everyone will find it easy to use - only some will find it annoying to look at. Very bare-bones and to the point, no extra frills and unnecessary commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The design is very dated and not up to par with other programs. As a designer it's kind of an eye sore to look at it for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simplicity of use was the best part of this program. When I had to redesign sites, it helped to reduce bumps in my workflow by quickly converting pages into wireframes. I could then create designs more quickly and further understand the functionality of the site. It was only part of the puzzle, but a big time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Back when I used it, there were times when the page would appear jumbled, but I think that this could be more of an issue with our computers and not the program itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
