ProtoShare

"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," states Chad Reynolds, Co-Founder Batterii .

"ProtoShare has the potential to revolutionize web design," states Wikinomics.com .

"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, " said Chris Adams, Senior Art Director at Rolling Orange. "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."

"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," said Adam Lavelle, Chief Strategy Officer at iCrossing, a leading digital marketing company. "It also allows us to manage critical feedback from clients and the team."

"Web prototyping can be cumbersome and expensive. ProtoShare is a smart way for the team to collaborate with clients," said Steve Gray, Technology Director at Razorfish, the leading interactive agency worldwide.

"ProtoShare is exactly what we have been looking for," said Mike Dennelly, VP-Director of Digital Marketing at G2 Direct and Digital. "It is the perfect combination of real-time collaboration and interactive wireframing. It gets our clients involved upfront and helps us avoid unnecessary development down the road."

"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.", said  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," said Matthew Delprado and Dan Putelli, Experience Designers at 'OgilvyInteractive Worldwide' in Sydney. "With the revamped user interface and the ability to quickly simulate rich Internet functionality, ProtoShare 3.0 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."

"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," said Jay Morgan, Director of UX at Gage. "It also supports important workflow steps by filling gaps that competing tools leave open. And with version 3.5, our UX team can now build alternate versions of the same page; this allows the full project team to make more informed decisions. Most importantly, the ability to share our work over the web for review, approval, and testing saves us, and our clients, time. And, by working with their users, the ProtoShare team is making it a better tool every day."

"ProtoShare will facilitate a web-based collaborative approach to simplify and improve the website building and review process for all of 3M's websites," said Kim Beach, Manager, 3M.com Strategy & User Experience. "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."

"Is ProtoShare worth the cost? Every cent. No, it’s not inexpensive, but Protoshare has so quickly become the crux of our product development process, I don’t know what we’d do without it.

We've been very pleased not only with the product but with the vendor relationship as well. (Not something I can say about a lot of vendors!). You guys are a real asset to our business. Keep doing what you’re doing!" said Clay Anderson, Web Development Director at Christianity Today."
