ProtoShare 3.8 Improves Website and Web Application Prototyping
Web-based Prototyping tool now includes customizable and dynamic components for richer web application simulations and website prototypes.
PORTLAND, Ore., March 17 -- Site9, Inc., the developer of the industry's fastest growing, cloud-based prototyping tool for website and web apps, today announced the release of ProtoShare 3.8. The new release takes prototyping to the next level with rich dynamic features available for web application and website simulation. Additionally, the ability to export a fully functioning copy of a project in web-compliant HTML format has added new potential for local versioning and usability testing.
Interactive data grids, dynamic tree views, and the exclusive customizable component were highly requested features by ProtoShare users involved with web application prototyping. Data grids and tree structures are important features found in many online applications. The ability to have dynamic, working representations that add fidelity and understanding to a web prototype makes the process even move valuable in reducing rework during the development process.
The new customizable component in ProtoShare is an industry-unique feature that allows users to create and add any functionality to a prototype. Because ProtoShare creates prototypes and wireframes with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, users can easily import in their own customized components to demonstrate and simulate interactions, processes, and functions required or specific to their projects, further reducing misunderstanding and clarifying the project's path.
"We use ProtoShare on almost every project. We figure we've cut our prototyping time in half. In addition to website prototypes, we use ProtoShare to comp and showcase interactive elements like pull-down menus, carousels, and grids so people can actually see them work," states Chris Adams, Art Director at Rolling Orange.
With the ability to export to HTML, users can now run and interact with prototypes on their own computer or servers. The feature has proven very useful for remote usability and customer testing. A local copy of projects can also be created and stored for handy reference when not online. The exported HTML, while not purposed for it, could also be used to begin development of a project.
"With ProtoShare, teams can now evolve their projects as far as needed, from simple, grey-box wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes," said Andrew Mottaz, Founder and CEO. "You can also upload and collaborate on art and design work, review and comment on live websites, and create multiple layouts for pages. In short, ProtoShare is becoming a complete pre-development process tool for the industry."
