What is Sketch?

Why Sketch?

Live website drafting

Before you build a site, get a working draft — a live wireframe of its structure and copy.

Focussed on words

During pre-production, you don't need to build the site or manage its content. You don't need a CMS. You need Sketch.

Accessible anywhere

Sketch is an online service. You and your client can access it from anywhere. There are no downloads, no setup, no fuss. Just create an account!

Get off the drawing board

Once you've done the talking, and the scribbling on paper, get your client to start assembling site copy around a basic structure. Together, see how that confirms or modifies your plans.

Secure the content

You know it's hard to secure good, finalised copy. Use Sketch as your chance to prioritise it. Even if you're using a copywriter — your client can start drafting now.

Keep communicating

As the site takes shape, you and your client are both in the loop and both seeing what's happening. That confidence in shared communication is invaluable.

Design with confidence

Once you're done sketching, the site is ready to be built for real. Both you and your client know what's there, and so there are no surprises. On with production!
