ProtoShare

“The age of the “wire” frame is gone, long live “rich prototyping”
Protoshare has helped change the way we approach design concepts and prototyping by delivering a set of tools that enables us to rapidly create visually rich and interactive page layouts, and skip the classic wireframing stage where we would typically create skeletal page layouts with little to no branding or visual styling
The speed at which a page can be constructed and visually styled in Protoshare is a massive time saver, allowing for time to be better spent on the more important aspects of interaction design, user experience and customer engagement

Phil Middlemass,
Creative Director at Leighton
“ProtoShare was introduced to me by a designer at the start of what could have been a disastrous Saas project
We were architecting a new version of our legal software product, that needed to fulfill the vision of our executive team, wishes of our customers, and fit into existing development architecture
By using ProtoShare as our test bed for design and feature functionality before handing instructions off to our developers we no doubt saved our timeline, and budget
We were able to go through several iterations and changes including sign off from stakeholders before coding even a single line
Without ProtoShare our product might not have made it to market in time, and definitely wouldn’t have looked or functioned as well as it did
I would highly recommend using ProtoShare as the first part of your UX, Design and Development efforts

Product Manager at Total Attorneys
“As the owner of a successful web company, I can tell you that we rely on ProtoShare more than any other tool we have
Quite simply, ProtoShare is the most valuable tool we have and I don’t know how we ever worked before

Matt Harper,
Owner of Artonic
“We call ProtoShare a site’s ‘bible’
It helps with documentation, enables approval of requirements, and gets us to the final product faster
We won’t build a site without working in ProtoShare first

Mariah Andrews,
Director of Interactive Marketing at Hellman
“ProtoShare is the hub for all our digital projects

“The advantage of quick visual prototyping for review and acceptance is huge compared to just written documentation
”
Bill Adams,
eBusiness Project Manager at Western & Southern Life
“ProtoShare really helped us bridge the gap between whiteboard, side conversations and a real product
Our development and UX teams could collaborate on wireframes together solving problems and making decisions quickly prior to final construction
It basically served as our ‘working requirements doc’ ensuring we built the best solution

Chad Reynolds,
Co-Founder of Batterii
“I used to use Illustrator and then make clickable JPEG comps, but recently I started using ProtoShare, and there’s no way I’d go back to any of the other tools
I can do interactive mockups right in the browser and then pop up the page to see it working
It has built-in components for rich interaction
One of the best features is an outline-style site map that ties the whole thing together
Add a new section? No problem -- drop in the same, set a template to that page, and the nav components on each page update automatically
That alone has saved hours
Beyond that, you can drop pins onto the designs and start discussions around them, and you can post design comps with the wireframes for presentation
So far we’ve used it for three large client projects with no complaints from the client side, and huge time savings on our end

Chris Adams,
Senior Art Director at Rolling Orange
“ProtoShare enables us to rapidly ‘show and tell’ our clients how a Web experience will work, rather than simply explaining it in text-based requirements documents
It also allows us to manage critical feedback from clients and the team
”
Adam Lavelle,
Chief Strategy Officer at iCrossing, a leading digital marketing company
“ProtoShare is simple, intuitive and direct
It behaves exactly how you expect, no surprises
ProtoShare rapidly delivers functional prototypes with beautiful, real-time ‘view on device’ mobile support
We couldn’t be happier

“This tool has been a huge win for our organization
Everyone who sees this tool for the first time in action is very impressed
The tool has helped improve our collaboration, communication, and development times

“ProtoShare has become an invaluable tool at Sony BMG as we develop countless websites for our artists
It has reduced development time significantly and the stress that goes along with it
It’s the best way to get artists, their management and our internal teams to collaborate on the details of the site and then agree on it before development begins
”
Kevin Murray, Senior Director,
Online Production at Sony BMG Music Entertainment
“Prototyping and gathering feedback is a difficult but fundamentally necessary process in interactive development
With the revamped user interface and the ability to quickly simulate rich Internet functionality, ProtoShare makes that process even more efficient and easy
And the fact that ProtoShare is platform independent is also a major bonus for us, as we work with multiple operating systems
”
Matthew Delprado and Dan Putelli,
Experience Designers at Ogilvy Interactive Worldwide in Sydney
“ProtoShare is a smart tool that enables design thinking, design research, and strategic design
With a far more approachable interface than competing tools, ProtoShare allows us to transfer thoughts to design more quickly than ever
It also supports important workflow steps by filling gaps that competing tools leave open
”
Jay Morgan,
Director of UX at Gage
“ProtoShare will facilitate a web-based collaborative approach to simplify and improve the website building and review process for all of 3M’s websites
Our team is spread across 84 countries
Distance and the lack of a good tool have made coordinating our international development teams a challenge for the company
ProtoShare’s feature set allows us to consolidate our essential design artifacts, team input and workflow
This improves our ability to execute with global consistency and local relevancy
