DESCRIPTION

Manage client expectations and get sign off for multi-screen, responsive projects with interactive mock-ups. Move away from the traditional use of Photoshop for interface mock-ups for multi-device interface and interaction designs. Incorporate client involvement for flexible decision making in responsive web design projects and building cost of devices into pricing models, guerrilla usability testing and project deliverables.

“Now we can think about users and their needs as it relates to content.”

@andrewsmyk

Just don’t set the wrong expectations by showing them to your clients.
