Working as a SharePoint Consultant you don't always have benefit of a dedicated UX consultant. If you are working using an agile method such as scrum you may find that you quickly need to sketch wireframes with the product owner or team to communicate the requirements and user stories. Wireframes are a low-fi representation of a webpage. They need to be medium detail design which gives enough information the end user to relate to and the designer to understand while still allowing his creative skills to be put to good use.
I love the use of white boards when in workshops but sometimes you don't have the benefit of these so software is another option. I found that the Visio SharePoint Templates, although accomplished, didn't give the same impact as using lo-fi Balsamiq versions.
Balsamiq has a number of build in components which allow for quick development of UX concepts, I've created a few more elements created for a project I worked on recently:
- Standard Homepage / Master
- SharePoint 2010 Ribbon
- Views / Data Grids
- Taxonomy Browser
- Visio Services Process Viewer
- Standard Search
- FAST Search
- Task Dialog
- Social Tagging
- Social Notes
- Presence Indicator
- Presence Popup
- Tag Could

I also would really appreciate if I could leverage your SP2010 shapes.

Thx.
An integral part of SharePoint consulting is SharePoint farming. This is not an easy task installing and expanding from SharePoint to a server. It is important to always hire an experienced SharePoint consultant for such jobs.

I use Creately, do you have templates for creately. Share point made diagram templates for creately would be awesome. If there is plz email
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Sorry to all those people who want the wireframes, I gave someone full access(instead of read) and they downloaded then deleted my files. Nice! I don't have them anymore.
The wireframes only took a few hours to mock up in Balsamiq so if any of you want to have a go then feel free :)
In particular, the final procedure proved to be of great assistance. In general, I enjoy dealing with data such as this. I need to track this down.
