Little known fact is that Balsamiq has a "non scribble" "skin". https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/desktop/docs/skins/
I've been considering switching to Whimsical recently though. It seems pretty nice, but I'm still trying to figure out how to make the pricing structure work for my team.
What you're looking for is a mocking application. Some people will also refer to it as wireframe.
Here are a few examples:
Have you tried Balsamiq for wireframing?
Wireframing with figma was always a slower process cause of messing with the layers, colors and the dynamic components, while in Balsamiq it was all built in.
It is paid after 30 days though... so that might be a deal-breaker.
Ps. I am not an ambassador for Balsamiq or anything, working at a startup and we are using it here.
I only do it on request which so far has been… twice.
I use Balsamiq to do it. Call me old school, but I prefer tools I can pay once and own. Balsamiq offers that.
That's the whole idea behind Balsamiq wireframes and Lipsum text.
Worked at a company a long time ago where we'd have UX and UI designers spend a ton of time on stuff as a prototype design for something, and the customer would focus on the font choice/colour scheme/etc.
So they switched over to delivering Balsamiq wireframes, and then do a couple of treatments of a specific section for fonts/styling/etc for the look & feel portion of the presentation.
The great thing about also doing it up as wireframes like that is they could nail down the design layout then, and then ship the wireframes to the frontend folks while the designers worked on final look & feel with the client, and then it was a case of updating CSS and image placeholders.
