I like the design, but I have trouble seeing how this could work in practice, and I have lots of experience with wireframes otherwise. Does anyone here actually use a predefined set of wireframes? How does that work? Do you search through the stack to find the most fitting card? Otherwise love the design and how it puts the emphasis on content.

Thanks for the question. This is different than the wireframing process. We use these cards in our client meetings; presenting the client with the inner-page flow of specific web pages. We pin the cards to the wall or a board. Additionally, I'm using these in my office, trying to dream what I want to see in my product or in my work.

I am interested and lost at the same time, how do you use it, and why would one buy it? Is it just a deck of cards (carbord) with different web forms? So, during design session you quickly assemble application? Like Balsamiq but quick and non-electronic ? Actually it says a bit in Printable and Digital section ...

Initially, these cards were designed to be used in client meetings, pinned to the wall and showing the client the inner-page flows. But since Figma has become the gold standard of web, I decided to add Figma format, as well.

Nice, Please do mail your customers later on with an offer to feature their best work using your flow cards on your website, it could improve the conversions for both! P.S. I've added FLOWCARDS to the curated list of startup tools I've been trying to build - https://startuptoolchain.com/#design , Hope that's fine.

One of my friends, who is a creator, told me that I'm an overthinker when it comes to my products and rushed me to launch it, super fast :) And I did it. Now, I'm adding all the little stuff, and of course growth ideas. Your idea is super useful in my opinion, I will use it. Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

your site could use some flow cards help....

It's very... orange. I feel like changing the color scheme would be an easy way to greatly improve visibility

Well, maybe you can't change the color of my webpage, but you can always change the color of what I am selling in that web page. I present Figma versions of Flow Cards, with the capability of changing the colors with one click. ;)

Good choice in colours. Is it inspired by the color of the year?

Yes! You can change the primary color of the product in Figma with one click. And I created the landing page in 2 hours, so, I decided to go with the basics. :)

How does this work? Do you compose the cards together to create a wireframe page layout?

On a wall, trying to create a flow. Preferably with the client, giving them the chance to contribute to the design and planning process. After this, comes the wireframing process.

The collection is quite impressive, and $19 is a no brainer to buy because of the lifetime upgrade. I have already bought the Tailwind UI with lifetime upgrade and use it for every design I need to make. Hopefully this collection will be a cherry on the top! Please don’t roll out a monthly fee for it and stop supporting lifetime customers like some companies do.

Thank you for the motivation!

I don't like these kinds of products sold with a monthly fee, as a designer. That's because I don't think a monthly fee.

What I'm thinking is to create another set, with mobile flows in mind, as an upsell to this product.

Maybe after that, a wireframe kit, as well. Let's see :)

There is something similar, which I bought a few copies of the digital toolsets from UXKits[1] and my team loved them. I even bought the physical card, and it was a hot item. 1. https://uxkits.com

I know this kit. And there is another one, which gave me the inspiration to create Flow Cards: https://www.uxflowcharts.com/

If I was living in US, I would definitely roll out a set of physical cards. Because in my research, I couldn't find a comprehensive set. That's because I created this one. Flow Cards consist of 147 different cards, with 16 card-back designs to organize those.
