Did you know that 88 percent of online shoppers have said they won’t return to a website after having a bad user experience?

While you might not run an online store, it’s still important to have a solid website design. Not only can it draw users to your site, but it’s going to help keep them there. What UX design tools can you use to get started, though?

Read on to learn about five of the best.

1. Adobe XD

Adobe’s total revenue for 2021 alone was almost $15.8 billion, a 22.67 increase from 2020.

Adobe’s Creative Suite is one of the leading tools for creatives in any industry and Adobe XD is perfect for designing, prototyping, sharing, and collaborating all within one app. It also comes stocked with everything designers need to create interactions and other dynamic elements that can be integrated into those prototypes.

2. InVision

InVision actually combines three UX/UI tools, giving users a single platform to collaborate and rapidly prototype their screen designs. InVision Cloud then makes all of your prototypes, sketches, and designs accessible in one location.

This software can make communication easy. Whether it’s sharing work, receiving feedback, or documenting changes, InVision can keep track of it.

3. Figma

Figma uses a drag-and-drop interface to allow designers to build dynamic prototypes and mockups, test for usability, and sync up all of their progress. It encourages collaboration between designers, developers, and project managers to create ideal results.

If you work at a larger firm, you can use this program to scale the design process and move things along more quickly.

4. Proto.io

Proto.io has established itself as great software, capable of building hi-fi prototypes with little struggle. The learning curve isn’t a big one, so it’s perfect for beginners. You also don’t need code to begin building interfaces, as its own is a drag-and-drop.

It comes complete with a full animation feature that offers 60 frames per second, and even a free app you can download to test your prototype on both iPhone and Android. If you want soundbites, there’s also a full library you can explore.

5. Marvel

Great for both beginners and professionals alike, Marvel can help you keep up with the industry’s latest design trends in a way that’s easy to digest while remaining powerful.

You can create both low fidelity and hi-fi wireframes and conduct user testing all within one platform. There’s also a feature called Handoff that gives developers all the HTML and CSS they need to begin building.
