Protopie forum5/28/2023 So I'm a designer who wants everything on the table, and then I start figuring out the puzzle. I'm excited about responsive web design, but it seems there's a few steps missing from wireframe to finished web presence - Am I wrong in this perception? Looking for advice and answers! God gave me a mouth and a brain to find out from the customer what they need, what their goals are, and what their content management is. I would rather it be a custom design all the way, so I need the pieces of the whole enchilada before I can figure out the puzzle. Its like buying a template and then spending hours and hours undoing the code so everything the customer wants can fit. Designing without content is a pretend scenario. Having said that, these wireframes seem like a wrong approach to me. and knowing what device it will be viewed on is most important now-a-days. I have ''the formula'' in mind (object of web site, supporting events, and so on) but having the logo, content, graphics and videos to be used is how the design appears. , and it looks like they only got copy and paste of data in a recent build. Update: To be fair, a lot of Axure users are frustrated about almost exactly the same issue. Now.well I want to LOVE it, but I only LIKE it. If you produced a plugin to do what I did for Codecharge, you'd be well on your way to a truly revolutionary product. I think that you guys are slacking a bit. I LIKE JIM, maybe more the idea of it than the reality, but I like it nonetheless. I would also have to program all the validations and interactions in PHP, not in the GUI. I could just plug that SQL or DB into a PHP code generator, but then I wouldn't get the JIM features above, or documentation generation, etc. If I have a sample database for a CRM system, for example, I should be able to import that SQL dump and get a working prototype.not manually create 15 "Data Masters" and manually import the data, then manually drag them onto the canvas.just working, so that I can start tweaking colors and menus, etc. JIM does a lot of cool stuff.like responsiveness, multi-device, etc., but it is too labor intensive. I know, because I wrote a VBscript to traverse an Access database and generate the Codecharge XML file for it.around Y2K, Over a decade ago, Codecharge would generate 7 different web languages from an application prototype/mockup.
