Startup Idea: Integrated Software for UX Design and UI Execution

Startup idea to develop a single, comprehensive software program that integrates UX design functionalities and UI execution features. The ideal solution combines the best of tools like Axure and Sketch, providing features for vector drawing, grouping, code-based interactions, web publishing and prefabricated animations.

I am a User Interface designer at a digital agency in Orlando. When creating a UX design for a client we use a tool called Axure. This software allows us to create working wireframes that look and act like the real thing, a website. Axure has many advantages, it allows us to create very strategic interactions. After the UX process we use a program called Sketch or Adobe Photoshop to create a flat design for the client. This allows us to get pixel perfect within the design.

This process is lacking because we are using two separate programs. In an ideal world we would want one program that could do both, this would save us much used time in the overall process. While many tools on the market have tried to master this, none have come close to the extent of what Axure offers from a UX prospective and what Sketch offers from a Design/UI prospective.

An ideal program would consist of all of the following items in one. Allow for vector drawing, grouping, code based interactions with conditional statements, ability to publish to web, ability to use web based fonts, timeline with prefabricated animations (bouncing, easing, etc.). All of these items together would create a perfect program for our growing industry.
