Hi! My name is Francesca and I work for Balsamiq. I'd like to suggest some changes and updates to this article. I've studied a lot about Wikipedia and its editorial rules, COI and markup language... I'm not sure to master them.
Here is my version on the article.

BalsamiqBalsamiq is an ISV founded in March 2008 by Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, [1] a former Adobe senior software engineer. [2] The Balsamiq Mockups tool was launched in June 2008 [3] and has become an industry standard tool for User Interface Design. [4] Balsamiq started as a one-person Micro ISV; in 2015 it has 20 employees, based in Italy, France, Germany and the USA. [5] The company's motto is "Life's too short for bad software." Balsamiq became profitable 3 weeks after launch, and cleared US $100,000 in sales after only 5 months. [6] The company achieved almost $5 million USD in sales in 2011 [7] and more than $6 million USD in 2014. [8] ProductBalsamiq Mockups is a graphical user interface mockup and website wireframe builder application for developers, designers, and product managers, focussed on the early stages of designing user interfaces for websites and web, mobile and desktop Applications. It allows anyone to arrange pre-built widgets using a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editor. Its low-fidelity look (both with a rough, hand-drawn 'sketch' skin and a clean lines 'wireframe' skin) helps make it clear that the wireframe being discussed is not the final design, preventing reviewers from focussing on colors or details too early in the design process. The application is offered in a Desktop version as well as a web application called myBalsamiq and as a plug-in for Google Drive, Atlassian Confluence and Atlassian JIRA. Versions for FogBugz and XWiki were offered until 1 November 2013. PricingA Balsamiq Mockups Single User Licence costs $89; there are also Volume Licenses, Upgrade Licenses and Discounted Licenses for Existing Plugin Customers. The web app is called myBalsamiq and has different plans, starting at $12 per month. The plugin for Google Drive costs $5/month or $50/year. [9]. Every product starts with a 30 day free trial. Balsamiq Mockups is free for nonprofits, [10] for classroom use, [11] UX training, [12] and open source projects. [13] Balsamiq also donates 3% of its profits to charities. [14] Release History
