The launch of ProtoShare may possibly be the next great thing for Web junkies across the nation.
Site9, a Portland-based devoloper of collaborative software, launched the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) tool that enables Web developers to build dynamic and navigable website prototypes that team members can then review and comment on in real-time. The application is Web-based and is available from any Internet connection.
Previously, developers who prototyped websites had to resort to paper-based tools or non-purposed software programs that offered no fluid method for sharing among colleagues and clients. The interactivity of ProtoShare helps to create a true website experience that is dynamic and navigable.
The tool helps team members to collaborate on a site's evolution by simultaneously and immediately sharing comments and ideas. Once the process of prototyping and collaboration is finished, the website development team has a clear and concise roadmap to follow, thereby reducing communication mishaps, the need for many go-backs and possibly helping to avoid missed deadlines.
The software boasts realistic website prototyping aimed at better user experience. Often times, project managers are mired in the weeds over a clunky collaborative process. Success is generally measured by a higher team satisfaction realistic expectations. And, businesses seek a better return on investment stemming from an efficient process. The end result in such a scenario is producing a better Website in less time.
"ProtoShare revolutionizes the way the industry will prototype and develop websites," said Andrew Mottaz, co-founder and CEO. "Our goal is to bring true collaboration to this critical stage of website development. When you get the beginning right, the rest flows faster and with realistic expectation."
ProtoShare does come at a price. Basic plans, which come with a 30-day trial, will run a single developer about $25 per month or up to $100 per month for a team of three. More information and details are available at www.protoshare.com, including a video tour.
