Claritee Review: Is This the Missing Step Before Figma?
Okay, so in this post I am doing a Claritee review. This is a tool that, to be honest, many people get confused by. People see “design tool” and they ask, you know, “is this a Figma-killer?” The answer is no. It is not. It is something different. It is the step you do before you even open Figma. This is very important to understand.
What is Claritee?
So, what is Claritee? Basically, it is a “blueprint builder” for your website or app. It is for planning. It is for thinking about the project before you start to worry about all the design things, like colors and fonts. What happens is, most projects get messy because the plan is bad. Claritee is a tool for making that plan. It helps you build a visual sitemap, and then it helps you plan the “content-first” layout. Simple as that.
How is it useful?
Now, how is it useful? The main problem is that when you start in a tool like Figma, you get lost in the details. Claritee forces you to think about structure and content first. Many users are saying it is the “must-have step for first meetings with clients.” The reason is, you can sit with the client and visually map out the entire website. You decide what sections go on the home page, on the about page, all these things. It gives you, as one user said, “clarity and control.” Then, you can take that perfect blueprint to your designer. It saves so much time and so many revisions.
Features
From what I see in the reviews, these are the main features that people really, really like:
- Visual Sitemap Builder: This is the big one. You can see your whole website, all the pages, in one map. It is great for organizing.
- Content-First Wireframing: You drag and drop blocks for what goes on the page, not how it looks. This is the core idea.
- AI-Powered Generation: You can use AI to generate a sitemap or even a full page layout from a prompt. And it gives you real content, not just “lorem ipsum” text.
- Client Collaboration: This is perfect for getting feedback. You can give clients a “viewer” link. They can comment, but they cannot, uh, break the design.
Conclusion
When
So, my final verdict. Is the Claritee lifetime deal worth it? To be honest, I think for the right person, this is a “true gem.” If you are an agency, a solopreneur, or a designer who is tired of endless, uh, revisions with clients, this tool will fix your process.
Now, it is not a full design tool. And it does not host your website. You export as HTML or an image. Some users also say the UI could be more modern. But that is not the point. The point is the clarity. So, is Claritee worth it? Yes. If you need to fix your planning process, this is a very, very strong deal. The support from the founder is also, I see, very good.
