Ed: If you aren’t in the business of making wireframes or app Mockups it can take a lot of time and effort to get a mockup right (or if you don’t have design or coding skills not get it right at all).
For a fixed and pretty reasonable fee Canary will build you a wireframe or App mockup.
This is continuing a pleasing trend we are seeing from Service Providers that are “Productising” their services so that they are easy to order and deliver a known result with a set process.
These guys probably have some low-cost labour to do all the grunt work but their team takes the brief and then delegates the build to the low-cost team.
The costs are very reasonable, I think it would be hard to do this yourself at that price and you would struggle to find a better service provider via Freelance.com that can give you a known service.
Certainly I will be considering it for my next App project.
