Prototyping Windows Phone 7 with Axure Library

At Studio Pešec, we use the Axure prototyping tool. It helps us prepare mockups for our team, and get the requirements looking better than ever. It gives customers (or the development team) an ability to test out the prototype you’re writing. You can therefore design interactions, instead of static pictures like you can with Balsamiq, for example (also something we use).

While all major mobile systems have already been covered (e.g. Android, iOS), Windows Phone 7 is strangely absent. So we thought to help the information architects around the world. Our team’s Information Architect (Andrej Skaza) has created the Windows Phone 7 Axure Library which you can use for prototyping WP7 applications.image

Installing the library is easy: you just have to click on drop down menu “All libraries” in “Widget” tab choose option “Load library” and browse to the library file located in the zip file you can download below this post. There are 75 elements you might find useful designing WP7 applications and they will be ready for dragging and dropping into your Axure working space.

We hope you’ll find some uses for this library, and if you need any help prototyping and developing your next Windows Phone 7 application, make sure to drop us an email. Maybe we can help you.

P.S.: you can take a look at a very basic example Andrej has prepared.
