Imagine a tool that allows you to create a life-like and
fully functional mockup of your project. Imagine that the client can see and
interact with it in full color and high fidelity. Imagine that it's free of all
the clutter of the design process. Wouldn't such a tool be useful?
This prototype tool is now available.
It's called InVision, and with it you can generate prototypes that work so well
they might almost pass for the real thing. Not only that, but it works so well
with the tools you already use that it may as well work on instinct.

| prototype tool |
InVision was conceived in a market saturated with
barely-functional freeware, applications that require learning new skills, and
single-purpose tools that clutter the design process and take up processing
power. Making wireframe mockups of your projects is a trial at best, but
InVision makes that simple.
To use this prototype tool, all you need to do
is drag and drop your wireframes into a project. Link those wireframes together
and you're presented with a functional and beautiful result. You can present
this to your client and, through InVision, communicate directly with them. It
eliminates lengthy documentation, e-mail exchanges and feedback cycles. You can
communicate in real time with anyone you add to the project.
One of the benefits of this direct communication is that
InVision allows the client to directly manipulate the project. Their changes
are automatically documented and presented to the designer up to and including
generating e-mails itself and setting automatic alerts. Right there, a vast
amount of time and tedium is taken care of.
Using InVision’s prototype tool is easy. Simply create
hotspot links or templates of frequently used links, apply them to a screen and
specify a target, and you're good to go. If parts of the project are hidden or
finished, you can even password protect the links. InVision really does have
everything a designer could want in a prototyping tool.
