HTML prototyping: because the details matter

This week we headed to Brighton in England to give a talk at a UX Brighton event about “Practical Prototyping”. Our talk focused on a couple of topics we’ve talked about on this blog over the past year:

  • Wireframing and prototyping are two different things, even though a lot of people use them interchangeably
  • HTML is a great way to do prototyping because it allows you to focus on the details
  • Handcraft is a great way to do HTML prototyping because it was designed specifically for it

We also decided to create the slides in HTML using Google’s HTML5 slides library. This allowed us to prototype the presentation with Handcraft. Can’t get enough of that dogfood! ;-)

Check out our talk, HTML prototyping: because the details matter – to navigate through the slides, you can use the space bar, the directional keys, or just click on the next/previous slide.

If you came to our talk, we’d like to invite you to try out Handcraft and if you like it, we’ll give you 3 months of the paid version for free so you can dig in. Just send us an email or a tweet and we’ll hook you up.

  • I really enjoyed your talk, it was well balanced fun/serious philosophical/pragmatic.

    I haven’t tried the product yet but it’s always nice to hear about a product that’s designed with such defined principals behind it.

    Thanks again for speaking at UX Brighton.
