UXPin Paper Prototyping Kit Helps Designers Mock Up Web Sites | Drake Martinet | Voices | AllThingsD

A low-tech solution (sticky paper) for preliminary design of high-tech artifacts (web sites)…

…Analogous to requirements analysts working with whiteboards and markers rather than with on-screen electronic design surfaces…

But thanks to Marcin Treder, Kamil Zieba and Wictor Mazur, Poland can now add user experience (UX) design tools to its list of exports.

The three designers, who met at their day jobs working for one of Poland’s biggest e-commerce sites, founded UXPin–the quietly-famous Web site prototyping kit made of specially printed paper and sticky notes, beautifully bundled inside its own portable folder.

After abandoning collaborative wire-framing software as either too slow or too technical for lay people to operate, they began printing wire-frame pieces and mixing them with Post-it-type notes to mock up designs.
