After several years of using the platform, this reviewer found that pre-made section templates boosted creativity. The experience soured when their account was suspended for a project that was deemed to look like a scam, despite it being a rough draft.

"That's so true! I didn't know I needed something Like Draftium."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Draftium?

This is a great time saver!

In comparison to other prototyping tools such as proto.io, inVision, Macaw, and so on, draftium sets itself apart due to its focus on websites, as well as its large number of professionally designed templates.

If you've done wireframing before or understand the need for it, you know how difficult it can be. Without it, you can easily become caught in a client feedback process that is full of distraction around detail, missing the bigger picture in what they need to achieve.

Using Draftium, you can quickly layout sections on a page full of placeholder content and refine this by quickly adjusting the content. It's much faster than trying to work with a WordPress theme (header and footer), then using a different solution (Beaver Builder, Elementor, Gutenberg) to create sections on the page. In this regard, Draftium helps users by providing prefabricated sections (like Beaver Builder and Elementor), but with true speed of creation.

Using the navigation feature is simple and fast and allows for dropdown sub-navigation (which so many tools lack). As a true wireframing tool, Draftium enables you to do everything in black and white, so you are less likely to get distracted.

It's simple to publish, it's quick, and feedback features are powerful and yet straightforward. Furthermore, you can set up your prototypes to be viewed under your own domain via a subdomain (requires setting up a CNAME). That's awesome!!!

As well as being responsive and quick, the support has been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Draftium?

Overall, I love Draftium, but I hope to see a few things added overtime to make it even better. This shouldn't detract from the quality of what already exists

♥ An ability to request content from clients, that has a process in place to approve it, would be awesome.

♥ Enabling the ability to Export to HTML

♥ Ability to add sub-users to account, enable team management and assign different roles, responsibilities, and privileges. That is a big limitation at present.

♥ The ability to create sitemaps would be the icing on the cake Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Draftium:

If you are an agency, this is a fast and easy way to build a mock-up site to show your clients. If you build sites for your clients and it may take you days to prepare a mock-up (wireframe) site and then waiting for our client to approve your design takes forever. This app allows you to create the draft site in minutes and on top of that allows your clients to annotate where they want the change to take place. The collaboration features are awesome. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Draftium solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have tried to do my wireframing in the past and it has never been an easy task. I can't seem to get it right. I have had many friends that have been frustrated trying to do their wireframing as well. I decided to give Draftium a try and I am so glad I did! This tool makes wireframing so much easier, and the user interface is so easy to use that I don't feel any of that frustration that I used to feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
