@atomicnicholas Hey Nicholas! Looking forward for your feedback after using Draftium!
As for web builder – actually we already made one. It's all started with idea of simple but powerfull sitebuilder. And we made it – it's called Weblium. For now it works in studio mode. Check David's Braun (CEO) first post here.
After all we do plan to bring life in Draftium prototype with one click, applying smart UI kit and convert it to final website. Summarizing all that, the flow will be like:
- you (or your customer) create prototype with one of the template,
- apply your (or client's) content,
- few revisions in collaboration mode to check is everything is fine
- choose UI kit
(magic)
- you got a all-devices compatible website, with cloud hosting and other cool stuff already from the box
@andrii_pavlov Now that is an awesome workflow. I already found the many included templates a big timesaver, but removing too many steps involved in the . normal workflow yet maintain the intended quality of results with (the most) minimal input (lazy does it) makes for an incredible selling point. Something powerful (but in effect complicated) web builders fail to do seamlessly. Absolutley love the motivation behind this: the combination of simplicity, speed and frictionless workflow paired with tasteful results, like a holy grail that's finally coming to fruition.
@atomicnicholas Glad to hear that! Our mission is to make this process smooth and flexible at a time.
I have yet to use it, but from the video alone, it looks like something to further speed our process.
Update: Loving this product. The makers are checking all the right boxes and what I love about it beyond the relatively generous free tier as well as the package this fits into, is the overall intent behind it. To cite a comment I made: "Absolutley love the motivation behind this: the combination of simplicity, speed and frictionless workflow paired with tasteful results," it just makes for an awesome combination not to be missed.
Pros:Clean interface, fast workflow.
Cons:(None)
Wow. Nicholas truly thank you for this review! I showed it to our developers, and they were happy like a kids that just get their Christmas present. Reviews like this one motivate us to make even better product. Cheers!
@codymclain Thank you for your comment! Well, if the users find this option useful, we’ll definitely make it 😉
@jadbox thank you for your interest to Draftium.
We use our own design system - this is our product. Hope you will love it 😉
Good idea and nice realization. Testing the product in work and it really helps in communication with the client
@rudni4ok Roman, thanks a lot for your feedback, hope it will help you in your daily work.
Just upvoted. Looks super clean and beautiful. How is it compared to Invision? Any integration possibillity with WordPress ?
@niteshmanav Thanks Nitesh! Invision can't "code" your prototype to the level when it's act like a real website. Also Draftium prototypes compatible with 99% of devices already from the box. So there's no need to design mobile and tablet version. In fact Draftium like Invision that code your wireframes.
We plan to integrate with WordPress 5 Gutenberg in both sides. As for now we can manually convert prototypes from old WordPress right in Draftium.
A great tool to sync your vision with the entire team. Takes literally minutes to create a prototype. Also loved the collaboration feature - reminded me of Pro products like Sketch and InVision, but in this case for free.
@andrew_alexeyenko thanks a lot. The main difference is - we operate with ready-made customizable blocks and it speeds the process up to 5 times. Although you loose the flexibility a bit.
@jamesonamadeus Thanks a lot. Don’t hesitate to share your feedback when you try it.
@jahaganiev Thank you! It would be great to get your feedback after the real usage.
Highly recommend!
Pros:This is the best prototype tool I've ever used.
Cons:have not found yet
We are using Moqups for prototyping and it's been great. Your product seems to offer a better idea of what the final product will look like. Looks like a great tool for web development agencies. Good luck!
Hello, PH world.
We've done 500+ websites for our customers during the last 6 months and realized that the main challenge is not to develop the website for a customer but to collect the content and synchronize the vision together.
We started to look at many prototyping tools and found that all of them operate with elements and it takes hours and hours to complete the prototype for a client - it doesn't work us internally. So we've had to build our own turbo solution. This is how Draftium was born.
Now, we've decided to release it as a free tool for other developers, studios and marketers to improve their process internally and externally. We see the future of the tool as one single place for ideating with the customer and collecting all digital assets from him and the feedback too.
Hope you guys will enjoy the product and provide a valuable feedback.

Firstly, I love the tool.
Working with it, I didn't find an option to put a looping background video (typically home/landing page); and then to overlay words on top of that video.
The Calls to Action are all 2-step processes: that is, the user enters hir name and phone; User requests a demo and gets a thank you. ......... So, what about an option that allows for a series of questions, each connecting to the next, with a progress bar at the top? The maker/customer decides how long the series should be and has an END/Thank you option to end the series.
Allowing for an image to be uploaded into the footer would also be useful.
So, I sound like I'm at a smorgasbord! sorry. .... But, it's in Beta ... so I thought I'd add my 2cents worth 😉
@esinger Thanks Emme.
Background video is on the way.
Form wizard is in roadmap.
Images in footer - good idea
@david_braun CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 🖋 Design Tool of the Year: Draftium !!!! WELL DONE GUYS, you have worked HARD and certainly deserve it :-)
Love the simple interface and choice of templates.
Pros:Clean UX, simple and fast.
Cons:Will try to find when I dive deeper into the trial :)
