1. Create a New Design Project
- Click the Create New Project button on the main dashboard page
- Set a name for the project and specify the device that the design is meant for
- Choose the specific aspect ratio based on the device options shown
- Continue to the Design phase
2. Create Your First Design
- Starting with the first screen, also called an artboard, add shapes, buttons, icons, and other elements to your design
- Continue doing this for new pages and new page states
- Each screen/page/artboard can be layered with multiple elements, such as buttons over images, text fields embedded into other widgets, etc.
- Proceed to the Prototyping phase
3. Prototype Your Design in Mockitt
- Once your screens and page states have been designed, you can start creating links between assets and their target pages
- To create a link, just drag the icon to the left of the widget or component and drop it into the correct target page in the navigation panel on the left side of your screen
- In the New Link edit pane on the right, you can add gestures to trigger the linked target page; you can also set effects like animation and transitions
- Continue doing this for all the interactive portions of your design, previewing them as you go along, to make sure that your prototype is responding to you the way it will finally respond to the user of the app or website you are designing
4. Share Your Prototype Online or Offline
- Once the prototype is completed, you can share a secure URL or QR code with others, with the ability to set user permissions for greater security
- For offline preview, simply download the HTML demo package, Android APK file, or PNG file for static designs
5. Handoff to the Developer
- The developer can access all the required code and other documentation for each asset used in the design
- The HTML along with style code can be downloaded and imported into another tool for developing the end product
