InVision shutting down! The one replacement design teams should focus on

In case you haven’t heard: InVision is shutting down on December 31, 2024 😱

For many web and UX/UI designers, that’ll mark the end of an era. InVision has been a trusty companion, essential for creating prototypes, getting feedback and collaborating on design projects.

As one door closes for InVision users, another opens though as they say.

How Slickplan stands out among InVision alternatives

Enter Slickplan — a versatile tool ready to fill the gap left by the departure of InVision’s design collaboration services. An InVision replacement that meets your design needs and includes a suite of website planning tools to handle entire projects in one place.

In other words, Slickplan is an upgrade, not a one-to-one substitute. A platform that simplifies the website planning process, from concept to design to completion, to make the handover to your website builder easier.
