What is Pixeden
Pixeden... how should I put it, I think it's like a "boutique" in the design world. Not one of those mega-stores with everything but inconsistent quality, but a place that specifically curates high-quality design resources.
Their mockup quality is really quite good. While there aren't many free resources, each one is crafted with precision. I particularly love their clean and elegant design style - it just looks comfortable. If you have high standards for design quality and don't mind spending a bit, Pixeden is definitely worth trying.
How to use Pixeden
Using Pixeden is pretty straightforward:
Browse curated content - Their categorization is really clear, mockups, icons, templates are all separated, making it easy to find what you need.
Preview detailed effects - Each resource has multi-angle preview images, so you can basically tell if it's what you're looking for.
Choose free or paid - Free ones download directly, paid ones... well, the prices aren't cheap, but the quality really matches the price.
Membership system - If you use it frequently, getting a membership is quite cost-effective and can save you quite a bit of money.
Overall it's that "you get what you pay for" feeling - you get quality corresponding to what you invest.
