< Back to Getting started with Balsamiq Cloud

Quick start guide

To get started, you first need to sign up at balsamiq.cloud and create a new Space (or join an existing one by invitation).

User flow for buying a product: visit the homepage, pass through the product category and detail page, and end at the cart screen.

Logging in will let you explore Your First Project, a sample project to help you get started with Balsamiq. You can also create a new, empty project from the Project menu in the upper-left corner.

Use the project menu to start a new wireframing project or manage existing ones.

Depending on how you work (or your role on the project), you can also invite collaborators to edit or review the wireframes as you build them. Balsamiq Cloud supports real-time collaboration and comments, so that multiple people can work on the same project together. Click on Invite your team in the upper-right corner to add collaborators or get a public link to share.

Now is the time to create your wireframes! Drag and drop, edit, and arrange hundreds of built-in UI controls, icons, and templates to create anything you can imagine.

Tip: If you've never used a Balsamiq product before, you might want to follow our tutorial on how to create your first wireframe.

Once you are ready to share your wireframes with clients or stakeholders, you can invite them to the project, share a public link, or export it to a PDF or images.
