If you’re looking to create web wireframes, you’ll find plenty of free Sketch UI Kits designed specifically for this purpose. These kits include everything from buttons to forms to navigation menus, making it easy to put together professional-looking designs in no time at all.
As a designer, one of the most important tasks is creating wireframes and mockups for your projects. These are essential in order to give clients and stakeholders an idea of how the final product will look and feel. However, designing wireframes from scratch can be time-consuming, which is why Sketch UI Kits are such a valuable tool.
Free Sketch UI Kits for Web Wireframe, iOS, and Android
Sketch UI Kits are pre-designed templates for creating wireframes quickly and easily. They include all the necessary elements you need for a particular platform or device like web, iOS or Android. What’s even better is that there are plenty of free Sketch UI Kits available online.
A handpicked list of the top 10 Sketch UI kits in 2018 we found useful from Mockplus. This list covers a wide range of UI kits including Android/iOS, wireframe, and web for Sketch.
ImageOptim
While Sketch offers its own solution for optimizing SVG files, there is no range of options for compressing JPG and PNG images. Since ImageOptim has been offering a solid service for years, it makes sense that it would bring this functionality to Sketch. Most of the designers who care about loading times and image optimization should add ImageOptim to their toolbox. Note that as well as the plugin, you’ll need the core ImageOptim app (free) installed on your macOS system, and you still need to mark layers as exportable in Sketch (navigate to ‘Export and Optimise All Assets’ to begin).
Auto Layout
Group Resizing is a native Sketch feature that enables you to change the way objects react when your artboards or parent groups are resized. Auto Layout, built by AnimaApp, takes this functionality a little further. Where Group Resizing lets you create fluid elements and pin objects to a corner (think: fixed positioning in CSS), Auto Layout also lets you offset elements by a certain number of pixels, define the minimum and maximum dimensions for elements (think: min-: and max-: in CSS) and do everything that Group Resizing allows you to do but with a much less confusing UI.
Finto
You can use Finto to create small interactions, and animations, all the way through to building comprehensive flows for multi-screen apps. It follows a similar aesthetic to Sketch, and even offers up similar tools to what you can find in the aforementioned tool. Heck, it even has some of the same keyboard shortcuts. It’s as though they were cast from the same mold, and that’s always a bonus.
