HomeEveryone that has done a complete wireframe with Justinmind Prototyper has already thought of a use for the generate HTML option. There are several case uses that we know and recommend.
If you have any suggestion of a new use for HTML generated prototypes, tell us at our blog. We'd love to hear from you.
For client presentation
After only one week of work, most companies present rough ideas, sketches or, at most, an elaborate mockup, but without functionality. Imagine the result if you presented your client with a fully functional prototype! That should be really impressing, and would improve clients' ability to see details and help them approve your work.
HTML prototypes can contain real data, in .csv format, and also have embedded parts of other webs, such as widgets, banners or even videos from other pages.
For usability testing
You don't need seven computers running Justinmind Prototyper to test your wireframe with 30 people. Just export the HTML and any computer with any browser will be compatible and run your project. You can run locally or even over the internet with any compatible web hosting.
This way, you can test a website within your browser's frame, with its speed and mouse cursors and everything users are accustomed to. Easy for users, better for you.
For remote presentations and usability testing
Web hosting is cheaper everyday, so it's plain easy to upload some HTML files to a server and send the link to your co-workers or test users and ask for their opinion. If your client wants to see how the work is going, or if you need input about the navigation before start the layout or the design, just send them the HTML and wait for info. No need to attach files, convert formats, have incompatible versions nor worry about technical details. It's HTML. A simple website any computer can read.
Now it's even easier to off-shore any stage of your development phase, or work with freelancers anywhere in the world.
A little warning
Although HTML wireframes generated with Justinmind Prototyper are perfect good to show to clients and to do tests, it's not recommendable to use them as a basis to build the final project. Humans, in this rare case, can generate a cleaner and more organized code than computers. For final development, please get a programmer to create your code.
