Designers think up a lot of creative ideas while they are developing web applications. But implementing them using HTML or CSS can be a tiresome and lengthy task. And there are no guarantees even then that your client will end up liking it. If they do not the entire painstaking procedure has to be repeated again. This is the precise reason why website mockups come in handy to test the ideas without the hassle.

In simple terms, a mockup image is a simple draft or layout of the appearance of your website. Professional web designers usually create mockups before they begin working on the actual website. This allows the client to observe how the final components of the website will look like. And the designer does not have to spend all the time and effort at the testing phase. We have a list of some of the best tools to help you create mockups quickly and efficiently.
