What is a great design tool for beginners?
I'm looking for a good tool to start wire framing --> mockups --> prototyping my web/app designs. Any recommendations would be great and highly appreciated!(:
I have looked into Sketch but an annoyance I see are the third parties involved to get the full functionality I'm looking for. A pro to it though is one simple payment.
Another tool is Mocups, which I love to be honest. It's all in one, and easy for collaboration. The down side is that it's more expensive.
Thanks Y'all!

- Patricia McGeeWeb Designer (m/w/d) · WrittenI just started using Animation Desk for some light prototyping and animation. It took me maybe 2-3 days tops to learn what all the tools are and get a handle on how things work. I really enjoy using this software for animation, mainly because of how intuitive and fun it is. I'm not a huge fan of complicated and multi-layered software, so with Animation Desk I can do what I want easily. So I recommend this application to all all beginners for animation and light prototyping - it's easy to learn and use, and fun as well.I'd suggest looking into Animation Desk. This app that's easy to master whatever your level is when it comes to animation/storyboarding. I'm still an animation novice, but I enjoy working with this software because it's both fun and intuitive.Steven ThompsonFront End Motion Artist · WrittenAnimation Desk is a good software for a beginner due to the ease of use and high enjoyability factor since it's designed in a way that makes sense for all user levels.
